During my senior year at CCS I took a class called, 'History of Detroit Churches'. A great and fascinating class about the history and architecture of Detroit's local churches. We went to about 12 in that semester and over the holidays I decided to go to one of them. Sweetest Heart of Mary in Detroit is located on Russell by the Eastern Market. That area back in the day had a large concentration of Polish immigrants and in 1893 a church was born.
The inside is spectacular. Few words can truly describe the interior. The work that went in to it is really remarkable. Below are a few pics and a video of the inside as well. For you movie fans out there in 'Scarecrow', starring Gene Hackman and Al Pacino the church scene was filmed there. Enjoy.
