St. Mary and St. Richard will be joining with Ss. Simon and Jude, St. Thomas the Apostle, and St. Mary Cause of Our Joy as the Archdiocese of Detroit embarks on a new vision for parish life.  Coming together as a Family of Parishes we will work together to Unleash the Gospel in our community.

Families of Parishes are for the benefit of all the faithful. 

• We are the Body of Christ.
• We are meant to worship as community.
• We need the Sacraments to sanctify and build up the Body of Christ and to give worship to God. CCC 1122
• If there are not enough priests to minister to each individual parish, the grace of the sacraments will not be available to us.
• We need to come together as one Body.
