Parish Listening Sessions
The next step in the Archdiocesan Restructuring process is for every parish in the Archdiocese of Detroit to host two parish listening sessions. At these sessions, we will review potential models and provide feedback.
Our parish listening sessions will be:
- Monday, June 1, 2026 - 7:00-9:00 PM and
- Wednesday, June 3, 2026 - 7:00-9:00 PM
The archdiocese asks that each person attend ONE listening session, and that it be at the parish with which he or she is most closely associated. All participants are required to register in advance; walk-ins will be asked to provide their contact information upon arrival. If you need assistance registering, please contact the Rectory Office at 313.277.3110 and we will be happy to help you.
