St. Joseph Shrine

Stunning church. All the apostolates of the Institute of Christ the King, Sovereign Priest are beautiful. The High Mass was done with reverence and beauty.

This church is amazing! I went for Ash Wednesday and was simply blown away by the beauty of this church. The architecture and stained windows plus the Traditional Latin Mass was such a powerful experience. May the TLM and churches like this last forever.

Beautiful chuch/shrine I went with a church tour group. It was beautiful!!

Blown away by the Solemn High Mass that I attended here as a visitor. Will be keeping this community in my prayers. St. Joseph, pray for us. Our Lady of Sorrows, pray for us.

Church was open for me to take several photos and spend some time with the Blessed Sacrament Edit October 2023. Got to visit for Mass and Confession. Both were the most edifying Sacraments of each, I have been able to receive in a long, long time. Mass was done extremely well. Father didn't hold back in confession either, making clear of what is right and wrong, while also sounding relatable and practical. I left so refreshed. Definitely recommend!

One of my favorite churches in Detroit. I love the mass here. I attend the 7am mass, which is incredibly special. I love watching the sunrise through the stained glass. Everything about the atmosphere is awe-inspiring, ethereal, and beautiful. I felt touched by the masses and by the beauty of the church itself. Going to early morning mass is an experiment I’d highly recommend.

This Church is so beautiful. I was drawn to St. Joseph this year so ended up at this shrine. This is now my favorite Church to pray the rosary. I can't explain in words how much I appreciate the reverance for God that is practiced here. I had to come to terms that I grew up with an improper Catechism at my childhood parish. The Cannons here teach proper tradition and it is an honor to be able to attend Latin mass here. I have develeoped a deeper understanding of my faith this year all because of this place.

What a beautiful Catholic Shrine with a wonderful traditional Latin Mass. I recommend attending confession here if you'd like some more advice during your time. We enjoyed Christmas Mass and I very much enjoy Wednesday Low Mass.

This mass gives me goosebumps. May the Lord preserve the Latin mass forever. T Holy Spirit truly dwells there.

Reverent worship in a very beautiful church. Friendly members too. Traditional Latin Mass.

Gregorian chant is unmatched. If you like traditional Latin mass, then look no further. Very beautiful older church. Devotions to and interesting relics of St. Joseph. Highly recommend.

If you're a fan of ritual and have never attended a high mass, I highly recommend it. There's just something about zoning out on words in an ancient language, and all attention on the altar instead of the priest that is hard to explain or capture effectively in words. An orchestral mass at a big holiday is my favorite way to go, but be forewarned, they can stretch on as long as 2 hours. Not for the hurried, a real time for contemplation. St. Joseph's is one of Detroit's many beautiful old Catholic Churches. I attended the Latin midnight mass with an old friend this past Christmas, it was so beautiful I was moved to tears. Poinsettias adorned the altar, bought as remembrances by various parishioners through the year. It was an orchestral mass with a full choir and strings. Vivaldi and Bach were played- my favorite piece by far was a duet sung by two sopranos- an adult woman and prepubescent boy. The church itself is in good condition, better maintained than a few of the others in the area. As the population in the area has fluctuated, attendance has lowered at these old gems. In some cases, renovations have had to been forgone, a couple have even had to close. I'm really glad St. Joseph hasn't suffered in this way.

If you're a traditional-minded Catholic and have great affection for the Latin Mass, this is one of the rare places to see it. My wife and I drive all the way from Ann Arbor. It's one of the few places left that aren't a liturgical travesty. Praise God for the resurrection of this place. And a big shoutout and thank you to ICKSP for being here in Michigan! The traditional Catholic community is growing and the younger generation thanks you!

I went to this church, and was immediately blown away by the beautiful church interior, lovely choir, and the feeling that you are going back in time, to somethng, ancient, and powerful. I am going there every week, and I love it!

We went to the high mass. The church was absolutely beautiful. The choir was pretty good. Was a fantastic experience. Beware-the kneelers are torture devices

A beautiful place to attend mass. Traditional Latin Mass, which is outstanding! Our favorite church in Michigan!

This is a BEAUTIFUL old church on Jay Street, across from Eastern Market. The thing that keeps me coming back is their acapella choir. They were doing Bach on Christmas Eve and I SO wanted to attend but didn't have anyone to go with so decided against it. I have been there, though, for Midnight Mass and when we came out, the snow was falling, one of those gentle snows and you knew that at that moment, as the church bells rang out, all was right with the world. I believe the choir sings at the Latin Mass on Sundays and it's really worth the trip. The ceiling is painted heaven blue with stars and it's just a beautiful, beautiful church. Warning: Midnight Mass is not for the faint of heart. It starts at 11:30 and I believe we got out around 1:30. WAY too long for me. I DO hope you go for a mass. The choir alone makes it worth the trip.
