It's the second week of Advent, and today I felt called to visit Old St. Mary's Church--Detroit's…read morethird-oldest Roman Catholic parish, built in 1884. The moment I walked in, I was struck by its breathtaking beauty and timeless reverence. I went to confession in one of the old wooden confessionals, and during Mass I was amazed to see they still use a traditional communion rail--something I haven't experienced in years. The choir sang with such purity, accompanied by the rich sound of a true pipe organ. What a blessing it was to celebrate Sunday Mass in a place so steeped in history, tradition, and grace.

Very beautiful church! They're open everyday a little before and after their daily church service…read more We walked in right at the end of mass to see the building.

Last Sunday, the pastor of EMBC preached a message claiming that he threatened to beat his sons for…read moretrying on dresses when they were younger. He also told parents, from the pulpit, that if they catch their boys playing with their sisters dolls, they should teach them to burn the dolls. This is not the first violent message from Pastor Tracy that I have heard. I once heard him rejoice when 300 Muslims were killed in a tragic accident in Mecca in 2013. I heard him brag that he would like to run over protesters with his car. When I was a member as a teen, I heard him joke about hitting his wife, and encourage his children to bash other children's heads in with bricks from the pulpit. I was sad and horrified to learn that he has not changed his violent messaging. If you are the kind of Christian who wants to see anyone you disagree with (including children) beaten and killed, I guess EMBC is the church for you. If you are the kind of Christian who wants to follow Jesus and love your neighbor as yourself, try elsewhere.

I was part of a wedding and it was absolutely amazing. The venue was gorgeous and the deacon gave…read morean excellent service. It really was a picture perfect wedding. However, working with Gabriella was quite unpleasant. She seemed irritated from the beginning and we never felt like we were welcome with her. She seemed annoyed when she found out that someone in the wedding party was in a wheelchair. She didn't make an attempt to learn names. I understand there are a lot moving parts to coordinating the wedding, but she could at least try to be more pleasant. Overall, the wedding was beautiful, but her bad attitude could use improvement.

I really think the Fever concert series is a wonderful opportunity to visit a lot of venues in the city. Everything about this night was beautiful and immersing one's self in the music is simply good for the soul.

They preach right from wrong always and do not waver!

Let me preface this by saying that I'm not baptist, but have been to churches of various…read moredenominations including Baptists when it was a special occasion for the friend who attended that church. Such was the situation. I felt completely unsafe. This church is 100% not following covid regulations. Great, there's a hand sanitizer machine in the lobby, but other than that, very little precaution was taken. I counted maybe three people wearing masks, and one lady, who I guessed to be in her eighties - I heard her almost apologizing to people that she was protecting herself. people were also seated just too close together. A few pews were roped off here and there, as a mere formality, as everyone else in the remaining pews was crammed together. As far as the church service, I felt it was a meeting of the mutual adoration society. Any Scripture reading was limited to the last 10 minutes, which was just a couple of lines taken from here and there in the pastor didn't seem to be able to connect them. Everyone seemed friendly, so I won't give them one star only, but if you really want to go somewhere to hear the word of God in a meaningful way, look elsewhere. If you just like to sing (um, I thought that was a covid no to sing as a group?) and say "Amen," well, maybe it's for you.

If you are Catholic and in the community this church is for you. This church specifically has a…read morespecial place in my heart. Not only was I baptized here when I was a baby but I have fond memories of coming here during Lent Christmas Easter and other holidays with my parents growing up. I also attended their catechism here which top mold me into the person I am today. It was held every Wednesday and still has helped to this day. If you're looking for a home Church this is one surely not to pass out. There is a younger priests here now and a lot of the original followers as well. This church does so much for the community I can't even begin to start to say the extent of the kindness they radiate. They help people who don't have enough money during Thanksgiving holidays and donate Thanksgiving dinner. If people cannot afford clothing St Vincent de Paul comes in and you are greeted by a very sweet lady who will come talk with you and make sure your children are properly closed for the winter season. And at Christmas time they go above and beyond to make sure every child has something small to open on Christmas. They remodeled this church about 15 years ago and the warship Sanctuary is beautiful. There's also a place where you can go and light a candle for a loved one or someone who's dearly Departed. Unlike these modern Christian churches this one is an original one of those Originals where it is so good there is no need to change anything. I will continue to come here and I will continue to bring my children here because I know if they're here they're getting the word of God properly.
