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. More: See the Detroit Catholic churches where weekend Masses may stop Of the roughly 39 Catholic churches now operating in Detroit's city limits, 16 — or 41% — would not offer a Saturday Vigil or Sunday Mass under both restructuring plan models being considered. Another four wouldn't hold a weekend Mass under just one model.

Ferris State embarrasses Wayne State, 80-0, for 40th consecutive win

Ferris State football continues to be history-makers. In steamrolling Wayne State, 80-0, on Saturday, Nov. 7, Ferris State won its 40th consecutive game, matching the all-time record for Division II. Ferris State now shares the Division II record with rival Grand Valley State, which won 40 straight from 2005-07. The Bulldogs haven't lost a game since the 2024 season opener. They've won the last two Division national championships and four of the last five. And, at 10-0 this year, they are the favorites to win another one in 2026. "I'm proud of our guys for the way they came out and performed today," Ferris State head coach Tony Annesse said Saturday, following the win at Tom Adams Field in Detroit. "To think about what these guys have accomplished is pretty extraordinary and they are deserving of the recognition. We came out and played dominant football today and it was a great homecoming for many of our guys from the Detroit area." Saturday was a stark contrast of two programs at complete opposite ends of the college football spectrum. Wayne State dropped to 0-10 under first-year head coach Terrence Isaac Sr. The Warriors' offense managed just 17 total yards on 52

Detroit boy shot with unsecured gun as mom cooked, officials say

The mother of a toddler shot and wounded this week by what police say was an unsecured gun at their Detroit home has been charged, officials said. Amoya Black was arraigned Thursday, Nov. 5, through 36th District Court in Detroit, according to authorities. She is charged with violating the state's safe firearm storage law, the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office said. Under the law , which took effect in February 2024, unattended firearms must be unloaded and stored with a locking device or in a locked box or container if it is reasonably known a minor is likely to be present on the premises. If convicted, she faces up to 10 years in prison. A magistrate set her bond at $50,000 and scheduled a probable cause conference for Nov. 12, the prosecutor's office said. A preliminary exam is set for Nov. 18. Court records did not list an attorney for Black on Friday. What authorities say happened On Tuesday, Nov. 3, police said officers were called to a home in the 12900 block of Evergreen Road near Interstate 96 for a report of a child being shot. The 2-year-old boy was taken to a hospital, where he was listed in critical

How 6 leaders describe the impact of outgoing Gov. Gretchen Whitmer

It will be a full circle moment when Gov. Gretchen Whitmer takes the stage with me on Friday, Nov. 20, at the next Detroit Free Press Breakfast Club speakers forum. The last time we appeared together was January 2019. She had recently taken the oath of office as Michigan's 49th governor and that morning marked her first public event. Eight years later, the relentless hard-working daughter of the late Sherry Whitmer, a former assistant attorney general for the state of Michigan, and the late Dick Whitmer, CEO of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, has blazed trails of her own through politics and business, and along the way has become a national public figure. Serious issues no one could have anticipated arose during her time in office. Topping the list: a 100-year pandemic in 2020 that impacted the entire world and Michigan, with a vengeance. Then, it was the upheaval of the state’s auto industry brought by changing policies of the Biden administration to encourage a focus on electric vehicles. The upheaval continued with the return of the Trump administration and its changes on EVs. A rise in inflation, a tariff war with Canada and the war with Iran have

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. "Trump really made gains with a number of African Americans, mainly African American men and young African American men in 2024," said David Dulio, a political science professor at Oakland University. "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
