On Pentecost Sunday, May 31, Archbishop Vigneron announced upcoming changes to how parishes in the Archdiocese of Detroit will be organized and operate In the future, with every parish becoming part of a “Family of Parishes.” Details will be developed between now and the beginning of Advent. Father John, as our Pastor and as the Vicar of the Trinity Vicariate, is representing our parish as he works with the other vicars, the Trinity Vicariate pastors, and the Trinity Vicariate lay leadership in determining the best structure for the families. Accordingly, In order to ensure participation in this process from the confirmed of our parish, a survey was sent to all parishioners seeking input regarding which parishes would be best for our parish to partner with as family. This Sunday, August 30, immediately following Mass, Father John will review the results of the survey. You can download and print a copy of the survey by clicking on the DOWNLOAD button below.

2020 FORMING CONSCIENCES (pdf)
DownloadWe are a parish within the Archdiocese of Detroit. Having reflected on the "four faces of our parish," St. Peter Claver Catholic Community, chosen by the Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, and under the guidance of Mary, resolves that: 1) we will provide more opportunities for deepening prayer life and faith life for youth, young adults, and adults; 2) we will initiate efforts to reach out and re-connect with those individuals and families who have disconnected from the Church; 3) we will collaborate with other faith communities and organizations within our parish to offer ecumenical events/activities (e.g., neighborhood clean-ups, prayer meetings, health fairs); and, 4) we will utilize resources within our parish community to advocate for education and to promote social justice issues.
St. Peter Claver celebrates Eucharist in the Sacred Heart Chapel at Marygrove College (see details on the STAFF/LOCATIONS page) every Sunday at 10:00 a.m. and on Holy Days at 6:30 p.m. Times for other Eucharistic celebrations, as well as times and locations for meetings and other events, are included on the PARISH CALENDAR page. The Sacrament of Reconciliation is offered on Sunday at 9:30 a.m.
Until further notice, everyone attending Eucharist or any other parish event must wear a face mask. We also encourage bringing hand sanitizer, although we do have hand sanitizer stations. Instructions are provided in the church for maintaining safe, social distancing, as well as for receiving Holy Communion.
