Built between 1913 and 1915, the Cathedral of the Most Blessed Sacrament is located in Detroit’s historic Boston Edison district and is home to the Archdiocese of Detroit.
About Us
The Cathedral of the Most Blessed Sacrament, both a parish church and a cathedral church, is the seat of the Archbishop of Detroit and the mother church of the Archdiocese of Detroit. As such, it is the “second parish” of all the Catholic faithful in southeast Michigan, and the “first parish” of some.

“After seven years in the religious life, I still am weak and imperfect. I always feel, however, the same bold confidence of becoming a great saint because I don’t count on my merits, since I have none, but I trust in Him who is Virtue and Holiness.”
— Therese of Lisieux
