Houses of Worship-St. Aloysius Catholic Church
Walking down Washington Boulevard in Downtown Detroit, it's a little easy to miss St. Aloysius Catholic Church in Downtown Detroit, but as you step into the Church, you feel amazed at the different elements of the Church. The parish was founded in 1873, and the current church was built in 1930. The church is staffed by the Franciscans. The Chancery Building, located next door, was probably built the same year as the church. Reading the profile for St. Al's on Detroit 1701, I notice that St. Aloysius was the Cathedral Church for a while. My Favorite parts of this Church are the depictions of the Twelve Apostles above the two side doorways and the depiction of Christ the Good Shepherd above the altar.
