Sweetest Heart of Mary Roman Catholic Church, Detroit

My husband and I chose this church to get married in at first because it is the most beautiful church we have ever seen. Though the views of the church are beautiful there are many more reasons we chose it. We are both Polish and it meant a lot to us and our families. The volunteers who helped us with our special day, Therese and Carol, were so sweet and so helpful! If you want a show stopping church, I couldn’t recommend it enough!

I attended the 12pm mass for The Presentation of the Lord, also known as Candlemas. The church, built in the late 1800s, is a beautiful Gothic atmosphere. A lovely parishioner noticed that my friends and I were new. She brought us the sheets that were on a table and explained that the prayers were said after mass. The church and mass are very traditional. It brought me back to my childhood when we approached the altar and knelt to receive the Eucharist. Also, I so happy that I could light a candle and pray after mass. Many churches have removed the votives. A welcoming parish.

Amazing architecture and part of history. Attended a beautiful wedding at this church. I had the opportunity to look and enjoy the architecture of this beautiful Church the previous day during rehearsal. If not I would have been so distracted looking around the entire church during that wedding the next day. Must visit. Now a plee for help. Please donate what you can towards preserving and maintaining this historic church when you visit. Currently there are volunteers helping out and they were the ones that helped us during rehearsal and the wedding. Thank you ladies.

We went here to attend a special mass that included the Novena prayer. It's an absolute beauty of a church! We happened to be there when a lady was starting a tour of the church explaining the history and architecture! It was an awesome experience! Every Catholic or Christian should visit this place at least once during their lifetime!!

Healing begins from within, and it takes work. I met 2 beautiful people today, Eric and Kris, they welcomed me into the church with open arms, and allowed me to peacefully fulfill my spiritual needs today. Such and amazing experience. Kris gave me a book called rediscovering the saints, by author Matthew Kelly, I think she could feel that I was finding my way back, and that this book would help me. I made a donation for a candle🕯 I felt happy to receive these blessings, they also offer holy water so I will be returning with a beautiful bottle to collect some. ⛲ Eric gave me the warmest hug I've felt in years, he was really warm and accepting he had the spirit of love and acceptance all over him. He made sure to make me feel welcome and asked me to return anytime I wanted to. Eric and Kris touched my soul. I am so grateful for my experience today.
