They have a wonderful Mass every weekday at 12:15 sharp. Its a short workers Mass and is complete by 12:55 at the latest, so theres no reason for any Catholics working downtown Detroit to miss the Mass.The Church itself is steeped in the history of the city, and is well worth visiting to look around even if you are not Catholic. If you want to just look at the amazing architecture (or say a rosary before Mass) doors are open during the weekdays at 11:00, and stay open until 2:30 after the Mass.Note for sightseeing: There is a Eucharistic adoration after the 12:15 Mass on Fridays and many stay for the hour or so long adoration, this makes it difficult for someone who just wants to sightsee to photograph and explore without disrupting those in prayer.

This church has the feel of a smaller version of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. The interior is superb. Great acoustics! Best version of Victorian German Romanesque Architecture.

Looking at some of these one star reviews, they are sad people who rate the church a 1 star and seem to have never set foot in this church. This church is stunning and a holy place. Get a life and maybe if you included God in your life, you wouldnt waste your time just being hateful to a religion.

Phenomenal Presence of God, That Really Jolts You,. As Soon as you Hit The Door!! The Pastor, is a very well Seasoned Spiritual Master, whose Sermons sound like mini Spiritual Retreats!!! I Love the Traditional Devotions that have long become Extinct at so many other Parishes!!! This Church Represents The Very Best of THE Old SCHOOL!!!

Note: I am not a parishioner of this parish, but am a Detroit local who sometimes attends this mass.Beautiful interior and exterior, first time I walked I to this church it was breath taking - +10. This church is planted right in the heart of downtown Detroit.They offer a morning 10am mass that is a normal novas ordo but all the words are in Latin expect for the readings and sermon.

Absolutely stunning architecture. Attended Christmas mass there and it was extremely reverent and cozy. They also had a live orchestra and the most beautiful trees Ive ever seen. I recommend Christmas mass here for anybody at all.

Undoubtedly one of the most beautiful churches designed in honor of Our Lords Mother....a NOTE to the reviewer (uncle chuckles)...after walking around the church perhaps you could kneel down before Our Lord and give him a minute of your day...also too few of those who say they love God esp. Catholics attend Holy Mass here in the heart of Detroit...03-30-18 uploaded some photos taken during Good Friday Faure Requiem

1841 German Catholic Marvel. Beautiful inside and out. Spiritually there are daily masses at 12:15 and on Sunday at 8:30, 10:00 & 12:00. The 10 oclock mass is in Latin and confession is before every mass. The church also has special concert events every month on the 3rd Sunday of the month at 2pm. There is free guarded parking for those going to mass and dont forget to give when the plate is passed.

Old St Mary cathedral is a long standing pillar in Detroit. And its still beautiful inside as well as outside and they host a lot of events in the community.

Beautiful church!! We had our wedding here last Saturday (21 sept 2019), and everything was perfect! Randy did an excellent job organizing everything and making sure the wedding went smoothly. The brides quarters upstairs were great! There was water and Faygo pop which came in handy between pictures and the ceremony. Everything went smoothly! Old saint Marys is an excellent parish, even for weekly masses or holy days of obligation. I highly recommend anyone who practices the catholic faith to visit this church at least once! You wont be disappointed!

Oldest Church in Detroit built in the 1800s. K of C council # 300. Built by the Germans, with beautiful stained glass and German writings in the lower level. Most beautiful church I have ever visited. Never been to Rome to visit the famous St. Peters Basillica in St Peters square. Original pews, original lighting.

A 22 return visit from 1994.i worked with Tri- County Security in the Blue Cross/Blue Shield across the street. I had 2 bibical students with me who are to study theocratics of American Culture......on the training tour, we forgot to grab your pamplets on traditions of reasoning and returned one Sunday Morning. The Doors were opened, the people were of great order of directing and assisting. Thank you very the Agape Brotherly Love and Community Hospitality...though, the business owners delegated management team agreed to adjust the over loud music on Sunday Morning. (as introduction of local resident presented itself unexpected)THE FATHER OF THE HEAVENS GOT DETROIT AND ITS CITIZENS....PSALMS 83:18, JOHN 17:3, REVELATION 1:1-3.......YOU ALL WERE DETROIT FINEST!!!!!
