St. Florian Polish Catholic Church
2626 Poland Street
Hamtramck, MI 48212
St. Florian is a Polish Catholic church located in Hamtramck, MI. The initial parish was founded in 1905 by the Archdiocese of Detroit to serve the Polish immigrants who were working at the Ford, Dodge & Packard auto plants in the local area.
The current church was built in 1929 and was designed by Ralph Adams Cram using Gothic Revival architecture themes.
Not unlike Sweetest Heart of Mary in Detroit, St. Florian has a very beautiful interior which is a tribute to the blue collar Polish immigrants who collected the $500,000 to build it in the mid 1920's. Like most Polish Catholic churches in the Detroit area, St. Florian has an area dedicated to the Divine Mercy. The Divine Mercy painting, shown above, also includes John Paul II.
On Saturday's and Sunday's, St. Florian celebrates mass at 4:00 PM (Saturday) and 10:00 AM, 12:00 PM and 6:30 PM (Sunday). The 10:00 PM and 6:30 PM masses are celebrated in Polish.
St. Florian is one of the classic churches of Detroit and if you are in the Hamtramck area to visit one of the local restaurants, stores or bars, drop by St. Florian for an architectural treat.
