St. Mary's Church St. Mary's School

St. Mary's Church and School Detroit, Michigan In 1910: The Germans of the city of Detroit organized themselves into a separate community in 1835, and divine worship was celebrated for them at old St. Anne's until the year 1841, when they established the congregation known as St. Mary's. Their first pastor was Rev. Anthony Kopp. The present beautiful church edifice was erected in 1884 by the Franciscan Fathers, who were then at the head of the parish. The Holy Ghost Fathers are the present directors, and took charge in 1902. The director, Rev. J. Wuest, is assisted by Rev. Joseph Schultz and C. Wilhelm. St. Mary's School, located on St. Antoine St. and Monroe Ave., is under the supervision of the School Sisters of Notre Dame. Two hundred pupils attend the school. The mother house of the School Sisters of Notre Dame is in Milwaukee, Wis. (page 13)
