Ste. Anne de Detroit (oldest continuous Catholic parish in Michigan)

Founded in 1701, Ste. Anne de Detroit is the oldest continuously operating Roman Catholic parish in Michigan and one of Detroit's earliest institutions. The present church building on the Detroit River dates to the 19th century and the site has long been associated with the city's French-Canadian community and later immigrant groups. The parish and church are recognized as significant elements of Detroit's historical and cultural heritage.
