Archdiocesan Restructuring
Archbishop Weisenburger has invited all the faithful of the Archdiocese of Detroit to participate in a prayerful and Spirit-guided process of restructuring our parishes and ministries. This initiative is not merely an administrative adjustment, but a moment of ecclesial renewal — an opportunity to discern together how the Holy Spirit is calling us to a renewed vision for parish life and priestly ministry that will ensure a vibrant and sustainable Catholic presence across the Archdiocese for generations to come.
This process is guided by three foundational pillars:
| Vibrant Parishes | Flourishing Priests | Mission Ready |
|---|---|---|
| Each parish is called to be a living heartbeat of faith — a place where the faithful encounter Jesus Christ, grow in discipleship, and form authentic Christian community. | Our priests are at the heart of parish life. They must be supported, sustained, and empowered to live their vocation fully — preaching the Gospel, celebrating the sacraments, and shepherding their people with pastoral charity and joy. | As a missionary Church, we are sent to proclaim the Gospel beyond our parish walls — in our homes, schools, workplaces, and neighborhoods. By wisely realigning our clergy, ministries, and resources, we will strengthen our capacity to bring Christ’s love to the world with renewed vigor and purpose. |
