DETROIT — On Sunday, May 18, Archbishop Edward J. Weisenburger celebrated Mass at St. Moses the Black in Detroit, gathering with members of the local Catholic community. Following the liturgy, attendees were invited to a Detroit-themed reception featuring live music and regional food.
The event brought together parishioners, clergy, and guests for an afternoon of worship and fellowship in the city, among them Isaiah McKinnon, Ph.D., former deputy mayor of Detroit, and Ron Teasley, 98, a former Negro Leagues baseball player, who greeted the archbishop after Mass.
Parishioners also offered Archbishop Weisenburger a basket of Detroit-themed gifts, including a Detroit Tigers baseball cap and apparel displaying Detroit’s “313” area code.
