Founded in 1872, St. Albertus was the first Polish Roman Catholic Church in Detroit, Michigan. It was the spiritual home to many Polish immigrants in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Sadly, the church was closed by the Archdiocese of Detroit in 1990. But it still stands proudly at the corner of St. Aubin and Canfield as an icon of Detroit's Polonia. St. Albertus has been designated by the State of Michigan as an official "Historic Site" and a non-profit association has been formed to see to its maintenance and restoration. There are still Masses said monthly at the church and tours can be arranged. Come visit St. Albertus!
