St. Alphonsus - St. Clement Parish

The St. Alphonsus – St. Clement Parish “Planning Area 6” information are now available online for viewing and feedback. Even if you did not attend a Parish Listening Session, the “Planning Area 6” Overview can be viewed as well as the three draft Pastorate model options.

Please complete the online survey to provide your feedback to the Archdiocese of Detroit on the Restructuring Initiative. The survey will take at least 15 minutes to complete. Everyone will have the opportunity to offer feedback until July 31st via the online survey. As many as 20% to 40% of the initial Pastorate models may change because of parishioner feedback.

To review the proposed models for Planning Area 6 please visit https://restructuring.aod.org/planning-area-6 and click “Pastorate Model Options”. Take the survey after studying the models.

It is important to note that no decision or announcement has been made to close any church, including us. All three models for Planning Area 6 designate that there will be no weekend Masses at St. Alphonsus-St. Clement, but it will be available for weekday Masses, weddings and funerals. No consideration was given to continuing the ministry at the Allegria Village chapel.

For those with specific questions about the restructuring models, process, workbook data, etc., email the Restructuring Team at: [email protected].

The Archdiocese of Detroit states that the goal of the restructuring is to ensure that there is a vibrant Catholic presence in every corner of southeast Michigan for generations to come. We believe that not fully utilizing St. Alphonsus Church would not accomplish this goal. St. Alphonsus is the mother church of east Dearborn, a Catholic presence since 1852, anchoring and stimulating the development of the surrounding neighborhoods. Although the demographics of the area have changed, it is still the beacon of the Catholic faith. No other site is as inspiring. Please join us in praying for our Archdiocese throughout this process.

Your support means more now than ever. The restructuring models that were presented during the listening sessions are not the final plan. We can change the outcome, but it requires your continued support.

Come to Mass every week, bring a friend, let’s fill this church. As Fr. Michael and Fr. Zbigniew say to those who have been away, “We stand by the door and say, Welcome Back!”

It is also very important that you provide your feedback, visit the parish website for details.
