St. Linus Church, Dearborn Heights

St. Linus Parish was established in 1956 and the church was built the following year, in the northern part of Dearborn Heights.



A statue of the parish patron faces the street.



The sanctuary of the church was likely remodeled at some point. There are three large windows on the right side of the sanctuary, likely where an altar used to stand.


An image of the Descent of the Holy Spirit is above the tabernacle, on the left side, inspired by the window at St. Peter's Basilica. A crucifix with Blessed Virgin Mary and St. John the Apostle on the right side.



 


Stations of the Cross line the back wall of the church, along with large depictions of Gospel scenes



A statue of Christ with children sits in between the church and grade school; a stained-glass window in the vestibule depicts the sacraments.



Fr. Patrick Stoffer, OFM. Conv., has been pastor for the last two years. Daily Mass is at 6:00pm on Mondays and Wednesdays. Mass is at 8:30am on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. Saturday Vigil Mass is at 4:00pm while Sunday Masses are at 9:00am and 11:00am.

St. Edmund Church is located in the northeast section of Warren, on Twelve Mile Road, a few blocks east of Schoenherr.

Bogdan Milosz was appointed pastor of the new St. Faustina Parish.  St. Edmund Church remained active and the former St. Sylvester Church is now home to a Chalean parish, Our Lady of Perpetual Help.

Mother of God Chaldean Cathedral


Mother of God Church was established in Southfield in 1948. The current edifice was designed in a Byzantine Revival style and completed in 1980. Two years later, the church became a Chaldean cathedral when the Eparchy of St. Thomas the Apostle was established.



Stained-glass windows in the dome depict, left to right: St. Peter and St. Paul; St Joseph and Child Jesus; Blessed Virgin Mary and Child Jesus; St. Thomas the Apostle; St. Addai and St. Mari. Like many churches, the Last Supper is depicted on the facade of the altar. 


The Sacred Heart of Jesus and Blessed Virgin Mary are depicted at side altars.


Stations of the Cross hang beneath windows that depict Gospel scenes.

Two plaques hang in the vestibule, one depiction of the Sacred Heart of Jesus as well as Madonna and Child.

St. Joseph with Child Jesus and St. Rita at the northern end of the vestibule.


St. Anthony with Child Jesus and St. Padre Pio at the southern end of the vestibule.


Many doors are engraved with a large crucifix; a statue of the Holy Family stands outside the church.

A statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary stands in a courtyard outside the cathedral.
