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.
