Up to half of Detroit Catholic churches may lose weekend Masses under new plans
DETROIT ― Up to half of the Catholic churches in Detroit could stop holding weekend Masses under the latest Archdiocese of Detroit restructuring plan models, a staggering number that's prompting local parishioners to ask where they'll go to church and what may be lost. As the Archdiocese seeks to "right-size" itself amid declining membership, aging buildings and fewer priests, no city is hit harder under the restructuring plan than Detroit. The targeted parishes are spread all over the city, from the east side to southwest Detroit, and many are more than 100 years old. The Archdiocese of Detroit last month released updated models for 15 planning areas across five counties in southeast Michigan, showing how parishes could be grouped under the restructuring plan, following months of feedback from parishioners. Three planning areas focused specifically on Detroit, and two models were proposed for each planning area.

Another four wouldn't hold a weekend Mass under just one model.

Stinson: What Happened to the Company Built by a Pilot Who Logged Over 16,000 Flight Hours
In 1920, aviator Edward Stinson, also the brother of aviator Katherine Stinson, founded the Stinson Aircraft Company in Dayton, Ohio. After five years, Stinson moved his focus to Detroit, Michigan, for his future aviation projects. At the same time, he worked as a stunt pilot and earned $100,000 a year, which was a large amount at the time. He discovered that Detroit’s business community was open to his idea of developing his own airplane. Supported by Alfred V. Verville and local businessmen, members of the Aviation Committee of the Detroit Board of Commerce, Stinson set up the Stinson Aircraft Syndicate in 1925. The committee provided $25,000 to design and build a prototype. This prototype was a biplane with an enclosed cockpit that could carry four passengers and was powered by a Whirlwind J-4 air-cooled radial engine. The test flights took place at Packard Field in Roseville, Michigan, a suburb northeast of Detroit. The Stinson Detroiter SB-1 first flew from Packard Field on January 25, 1926. The airplane was unusual for the time, with an enclosed cabin. It was also equipped with heat, upholstered seats, and an electric cigar lighter, making it comfortable for passengers during cold Michigan winters. The plane became popular, and in February, Stinson offered flights to 70 riders.
