St. Joseph Shrine

I moved to the Detroit area in the winter of 2016, with no knowledge or guidance as to what my new home parish would be. After attending liturgies at several different parishes in my area, I was led to Saint Joseph's, without much prior knowledge as to what the experience may be like. I was overcome by several things. First, the architecture and the brilliant beauty of the church itself. Second, the reverence of those present in the sanctuary. Third, the beauty of the liturgy itself. Finally, after the mass, the welcome I received from many, including the priests. I ended up at the parish open skate that same day, surrounded by the most genuinely kind and personable strangers I have ever met. The welcome I received and the support that ensued (now for a year and a half and counting) has been unparalleled. I joined the parish without a second thought, and am so grateful to call this place my home. Pastors Canon Stein and Canon Fehrenbacher are good, holy men, and knowledgeable leaders. It is a huge blessing to be able to go to them for spiritual direction, reconciliation, and other sacraments as well. If you are a Detroit/ Metro Detroit Catholic looking for a home parish that is rich in tradition, beauty, and community, please join us on Sunday at the 9am or 11am liturgy!
