St. Colette Church stands in the northwest region of Livonia, on Newburgh Road, north of Six Mile Road.
A depiction of the patron stands outside of the main entrance; a large cross hangs off the roof.
The Holy Spirit descends upon the tabernacle, at the corner of the sanctuary. Symbols of the seven sacraments are shown behind the altar. The Resurrected Christ is suspended above the presider's chair.
The Holy Family and St. Colette are depicted on the back wall of the nave.
The Infant of Prague, St. Jude, and St. Anthony are also on the back wall.
One interesting feature that's I've never seen before is that the organ and choir are in a triangular wedge at the back of the church.
