Gesu Church is a great Jesuit Catholic community parish and a treasure in Detroit. I moved into the city about a year ago after having moved from NYC where I had a wonderful parish in St. Francis Xavier, the Jesuit church in Lower Manhattan.
When I got to Detroit, I was dismayed to find far too many parishes downtown where I had settled that were struggling to hold on, with tiny congregations of mostly older parishioners and hardly a music ministry to speak of. At the suggestion of my pastor from NYC, I went to Gesu and was ecstatic to find a diverse welcoming community, families with kids, young adults, wise mature folks, a community in touch with its spirituality and a music ministry that is engaging and a foundation stone for worship.
I've since become a regular parishioner at Gesu and it's been a cornerstone of my life in Detroit and feel so blessed to have it.
