Strengthening the Church for the Next Generation
The Archdiocese of Detroit (AOD) is entering a time of intentional renewal. Beginning in 2025, we will embark on a two-year journey of discernment and planning, leading to a thoughtful restructuring of our parishes and buildings, with implementation beginning in 2027.
The BEST way to get the most complete and updated information is to visit their website at RESTRUCTURING.AOD.ORG. Please read the information on this site.
Information that is St. Anastasia Specific
- Each parish in the AOD will be part of a Planning Area.
- You can find information about St. Anastasia in the Workbook. We are Planning Area 13 in the Workbook.
Second-Round Models and a note from Fr. Steve Wertanen
The second-round models are available for viewing below and on the Archdiocese’s restructuring website, www.restructuring.aod.org.
Once you have had an opportunity to review the proposed models and rationales for our parish and planning area, I encourage you to share your thoughts and feedback.
The feedback period will be open through Friday, November 6.
Your participation in this process is important. I am grateful to everyone who has already taken the time to share their thoughts, concerns, and hopes for the future of our parish and the wider Church in the Archdiocese of Detroit. As we continue this journey together, I ask that you keep our parish, our neighboring parishes, and the entire Archdiocese in your prayers.
May the Holy Spirit guide us with wisdom, openness, and trust as we discern the path forward.
In Christ,
-Fr. Steve
