Detroit Mass Mob LIII

At: Saint Cunegunda

​

St. Cunegunda Parish was established in 1927 with Fr. Alexander Wilczewski as the first pastor. At that time, the church also housed the parish school which was staffed by four lay teachers and six Sisters of St. Francis. Enrollment quickly outgrew the confines. Each family in the parish pledged $100 towards construction of a new school, about $1,200 in today's value. This was a lot of money during the Great Depression. The parish continued to grow and rebuild for the next twenty years and the current church was completed in 1951.
