St. Veronica 100th Anniversary Mass Mob
Many of our Parishioners may remember our Parish being visited by Detroit Mass Mob 10 years ago. It was a wonderful day, and an amazing sight to see our church pews filled (and standing-room only!)
We’re happy to announce that we will be hosting ANOTHER Mass Mob in honor of our 100th anniversary this year!
Join us on Sunday, July 12th at 11:00am for an unforgettable Mass at St. Veronica Parish!
And a happy coincidence— this event falls on the feast day of Saint Veronica herself! (Thank you, Holy Spirit!)
We can’t wait to see you there! More details will be shared soon.

AOD Parish Listening Sessions
A Note from Fr. Stan:
Dear St. Veronica Parishioners and Friends,
As you know, the Archdiocese of Detroit has entered into a process of Archdiocesan Restructuring. I would like to take this opportunity to share some important updates with you—what has been accomplished so far, and what lies ahead.
In January, over 170 priests from across the archdiocese gathered for several days of prayer, discernment, and strategic discussion to develop the first round of restructuring models. Each model includes potential groupings of parishes within a particular geographic area. These groupings—called pastorates— may consist of one or more canonical parishes, or they may include parishes that merge into one parish while maintaining one or more church buildings.
This spring, every parish will host two listening sessions where the first draft of pastorate models will be presented. Our parish listening sessions are scheduled for May 30,2026 and June 6, 2026 at 10:00am to 12:00pm. You may RSVP for one of these sessions at restructuring.aod.org. These sessions will give you the opportunity to review the models developed by our priests and to share your feedback on the proposed pastorates.
After feedback is gathered from every parish, many of the models may be revised. Ultimately, Archbishop Weisenburger will prayerfully discern the refined models before determining the future structure of the Archdiocese, which will take effect beginning in July 2027.
Every parish in the Archdiocese of Detroit will undergo some degree of change as a result of this process. As you consider these changes, I encourage you to view them as opportunities to re-envision how we minister to the people we serve.
Let us come to these sessions not ready to fight, argue, or insist that we are exempt from change. Instead, let us come—with open hearts and open hands—ready to receive what the Lord desires to give, ready to serve in whatever ways we are called, and always entrusting this important work to the Holy Spirit.
With Blessings,
Fr. Stan
