The Most Holy Trinity Catholic Church was originally founded in 1834 in Downtown Detroit and was the first English speaking Catholic Church in Detroit.  In 1849 the Church was moved to the Corktown area of Detroit.  The current church was constructed in 1856 and it maybe one of the oldest churches in Detroit.  St. Anne's is an older parish, but its current church was built in 1886.

Although Holy Trinity does not have as an elaborate interior as other Catholic churches in Detroit, It does have some interesting religious art work.



The Corktown area of Detroit was initially settled by Irish immigrants in the mid 19th Century.  Starting in the mid 20th Century this same area saw an increase in Hispanic immigrants.  Holy Trinity honors both cultures with their weekly mass in Spanish as well as their St. Patrick Day mass celebration.




The Most Holy Trinity Church celebrates mass at 4:00 PM on Saturdays and at 9:00 AM (Spanish) and 11:00 AM on Sundays.  Once again, this church is another outstanding example of a historical Catholic Church located in the city of Detroit.

If you want to visit a piece of Detroit's religious history while visiting the expanding Corktown dining and entertainment establishments, plan to visit the Most Holy Trinity Church.
