Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Detroit
The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Detroit (Latin: Archidioecesis Detroitensis) is an archdiocese of the Roman Catholic Church covering (as of 2005) the Michigan counties of Lapeer, Macomb, Monroe, Oakland, St. Clair, and Wayne. It is the metropolitan archdiocese for the Roman Catholic Ecclesiastical Province of Detroit, which includes all dioceses in the state of Michigan. Erected as the Diocese of Detroit on March 8, 1833, it was elevated to Archdiocese on May 22, 1937. Ste. Anne's in Detroit is the second oldest continuous Roman Catholic Parish in the United States dating from July 26, 1701.[1][2] The Cathedral of the Most Blessed Sacrament in Detroit serves as the Archbishop's church.
HistoryThe Diocese of Detroit was formed in 1833. At this time it covered Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota and the Dakotas to the Missouri River. In 1843 all area that had been in the Detroit Diocese not in Michigan was transferred to the Diocese of Milwaukee. By the end of 1853 it consisted of the Thumb Area of Michigan, and most of Michigan south of the line running from Saginaw to Grand Rapids and west to Lake Michigan[3]. This had been caused by the organization of the Vicarate Apostolic of Upper Michigan. The son of Prussian Polish immigrants, Rev. John A. Lemke, born in Detroit on February 10, 1866, was the first native born Roman Catholic Priest to be ordained in America.[4] He was Baptised at St. Mary Roman Catholic Church (1843), at the corner of St. Antoine and Croghan (Monroe), on February 18, 1866, attended St. Albertus for his primary education, and studied at Detroit College which is now the University of Detroit Mercy where he received a Bachelor's degree in 1884; then, after attending St. Mary's in Baltimore, he completed his theological studies at St. Francis Seminary in Monroe, Michigan, and he was ordained by the Bishop John Samuel Foley in 1889.[4] His added confirmation name was Aloysius.[4] LeadershipRoman Catholic Archbishops of DetroitArchbishops and their terms of service:
