On the pastoral side I have met with Father John and he is very helpful and gives sound advice consistent with Catholic theology and beliefs, and he helps you understand things and concepts that may be less clear, he really meets you where you're at. The office staff are very helpful too, nice and helpful if you want to join the parish officially. Unfortunately with my schedule I didn't get to go to many parish events, but when it comes to the liturgy, office staff, parishioners, and pastoral care I can't recommend a better church around.

I've been going to this event since 2019 because of my childhood friend Sophia and her mother, but this year was the first time I truly felt how unwelcome I was. As a 16-year-old girl of color in a space that is overwhelmingly white, I felt singled out in ways that were disturbing. An older man kept walking past and watching my sister and me, which made me feel unsafe. In prayer group, people stared at us with hostility, and no one would speak to us. Pastor Paul later spoke to my dad in a way that, in my opinion, misrepresented our behavior -- as if we were troublemakers -- even though we hadn't done anything wrong. It felt like we were being targeted simply because we looked different. This wasn't the first time my family has felt dismissed here. A couple of years ago, my sister told me she discovered her name was on a list made by teen boys at the church ranking girls sexually. When she reported it, the adults blamed her clothing instead of protecting her. Hearing "boys will be boys" while her pain was brushed aside showed me that this environment excuses bad behavior from some, while treating others -- especially girls, and especially girls of color -- as outsiders. I left camp feeling shaken, unwelcome, and judged for nothing more than my race and appearance. If you are a person of color or a young woman, I would not recommend this church. I do not believe your safety or your voice will be respected here.

I really enjoyed and was blessed coming here during the 10am service. It was my first time here,…read moreand I always wanted to come to visit after seeing Bishop Don Shelby, Jr. (Senior Pastor) and his family on the reality tv show called Preachers of Detroit. I thought he was very genuine and I admired how he loves and spent time with his family. This is a nice church, and it wasn't as big as I though it was going to be. Which is great. I like smaller and medium size churches because usually its more personable and you don't get lost in the #'s. First of all we got here late, just at the end of worship (around 1030a) and as soon as we walked in we were greeted, and greeted again before going into the sanctuary. It was good being in the house of God w/ God's ppl. We came not to look for faults or to be a spectator, but a participator and for hearing and receiving a Word from God through the man of God. Bishop Shelby's message during this service was titled "In Between the Lines" which was a very simple but powerful message. It was timely and needed, and I thank god for his obedience to the Spirit of God. Being there, I sensed the presence of God, and the love they had for people. If I lived in the Detroit area I would definitely come back, and maybe even consider this house as a home church. I'm not saying this church is perfect, but it makes a difference when the Pastor has a heart after God.

The community is incredibly warm and welcoming, especially at the Men's Prayer Breakfast, which is a wonderful opportunity for fellowship, faith, and encouragement. Monsignor Todd, Father Pat, and Father Tommy consistently deliver powerful and meaningful homilies that really speak to the heart and help bring the Gospel into everyday life. You can tell they care deeply about their parish and guiding people closer to God. One of the most special parts of this church is the Adoration Chapel. Spending time there in the presence of Our Lord is truly amazing and peaceful. It's a place where you can step away from the noise of the world and simply pray and reflect. If you're looking for a parish that is faith-filled, welcoming, and spiritually uplifting, this is truly a beautiful place to worship. God bless this wonderful community.

Congregation members as friendly as before; fairly diverse racial makeup for a church that has historically reflected a predominantly African American congregation. Definitively a plus to have a women (pastor's wife) preaching at yesterday's service, though I'll confess I had some difficulty following her sermon - perhaps my fault since we arrived late. We might have arrived in time had the accurate time been posted on church website (website indicated service begins at 10:45am but it began at 10:00am for this 5th Sunday). Overall, as good start to a return on an old favorite place to worship. Hopefully some of the old snippy, closed, clique like behavior has dissipated, but may take time to tell. Looking forward to spending more time here and giving it another try.
