The Archdiocese of Detroit announced plans for a two-year restructuring process that will likely lead to the closing of some churches and a major reassignment of priests in southeast Michigan.

In a letter dated Saturday, Nov. 15, Archbishop Edward J. Weisenburger invited "every Catholic in our Archdiocese" to be a part of the process, called an "Archdiocesan restructuring." Weisenburger wrote that the restructuring was necessary due to declines in the number of Catholics, participation in sacraments and the number of priests. An accompanying video with recorded by the archbishop was played at Mass on Saturday night at several parishes in the archdiocese.
