 The Basilica of Sainte Anne de Detroit. is the second oldest continuously operating parish in America. The church grew under the leadership of Father Gabriel Richard, who also founded schools, established a printing press, and worked to overcome poverty and bigotry in Detroit. It's been said that the "basilica stands today as an active parish, shrine, historical treasure and landmark in a revitalized, multi-ethnic, bilingual neighborhood." And I was extremely blessed to experience this amazing site with a lifelong friend who attended school and church there.
