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.

In Detroit, Republican's Black voter outreach fell flat
DETROIT— In this majority-Black and Democratic stronghold, Republican candidates lost the gains in the Nov. 3 midterm election made by President Trump in the 2024 election, vote totals show. According to Detroit election data, Republican senatorial candidate Mike Rogers got 5.4% of the Detroit vote compared to Democrat Abdul El-Sayed's 91.8%. Other GOP candidates fared worse, including gubernatorial candidate John James, 5.2%, and Attorney General candidate Doug Lloyd, 4.6%, and Secretary of state candidate Anthony Forlini, 3.9%. In the 2024 presidential election, Donald Trump received 8% of Detroit votes, which was three percentage points higher than his 2020 run.

"This is just another indication that groups and individuals that supported him went elsewhere or just didn't vote." Rogers, a former U.S. congressman, made a concerted effort during the final stretch of his Senate campaign to appeal to Black voters, attending a Detroit church the weekend before the election and doing other outreach. In the end, he did better than polling suggested among Black voters, but not enough to make
