ELECTION PRAYER
By Servant of God Fr. John A. Hardon, S.J.
Lord Jesus Christ, You told us to give to Caesar
what belongs to Caesar, and to God what belongs to
God. Enlighten the minds of our people in
America. May we choose a President of the United
States, and other government officials, according to
Your Divine will. Give our citizens the courage to
choose leaders of our nation who respect the sanctity
of unborn human life, the sanctity of marriage, the
sanctity of marital relations, the sanctity of family,
and the sanctity of aging. Grant us the wisdom to
give You, what belongs to You, our God. If we do
this, as a nation, we are confident You will give us an
abundance of Your blessings through our elected
leaders. Amen.

St. Louise de Marillac (Warren)

St. Louise de Marillac Parish was established in 1963 with Fr. Benedict Rembelski as the founding pastor. The first parish Mass was celebrated at Green Acres School on June 30, 1963; a temporary church was built that year.


Archbishop (later Cardinal) Dearden dedicated the building and celebrated the first Mass on December 23, 1963. There were 750 registered families at the time of founding but doubled in the next five years.


Ground was broken on the current church in 1968, construction was done by Edward V. Monahan Co., and the building was finished in 1970. The church was dedicated and the first Mass was celebrated by John Cardinal Dearden on April 16, 1970.
  

The original church was repurposed as the current social hall. In 1975, the Confirmation class was so large (225 students) that the ceremony was performed at two different Masses.
  

Fr. Rembelski, the founding pastor, was transferred to Detroit's Transfiguration Parish in 1977. Fr. Pasquale LoGrasso (Administration and Education) and Fr. Robert Poledink (Worship and Christian Service) replaced him as co-pastors of St. Louise. They were, in turn, replaced by Fr. David West in 1985.
   

Fr. Thomas G. Rice was appointed as pastor in 1989 and, in 2005, he became a monsignor. In addition to his responsibilities as pastor, Msgr. Rice was concurrently the editor-in-chief and associate publisher of The Michigan Catholic for 13 years..
  

Fr. Michael (Clement) Suhy was appointed pastor in 2014 and remains there today. The sanctuary was recently remodeled by Constantine George Pappas Architecture.

First Mass at St. Joseph Oratory on October 16th

“We are grateful for the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest and the dedication they have to evangelizing through use of the Extraordinary Form. The Institute has shown tremendous energy in conveying a sense of the sacred through their ministry around the country and the world. We are especially encouraged that their ministry may also be instrumental in preserving St. Joseph, one of the Archdiocese of Detroit’s most beautiful and historic worship sites.”

     - Archbishop Allen Vigneron

The Institute of Christ the King Soverign Priest (ICRSS) will soon begin a new apostolate at St. Joseph Oratory in Detroit. The first Mass will be celebrated by the Institute’s Vicar General, Monsignor Michael Schmitz, on Sunday, October 16 at 12:00pm. The music accompaniment for this festive Mass will be Mozart's Missa Brevis in G Major. Social to follow in the parish hall.

“Deeply grateful to Archbishop Vigneron for his gracious invitation, our entire Institute family is very glad for this new apostolate in Detroit.
