St Agnes Church

St. Agnes Martyrs of Uganda Parish Church, originally established in 1914 in the LaSalle Park neighborhood of Detroit, has undergone significant changes throughout its history, reflecting the shifting dynamics of the area. Once a vibrant community hub with a congregation of 1,600 families, the church faced challenges, including declining attendance and eventual closure in 2006 due to diminishing parishioner numbers and building conditions.

In 2012, the church was purchased by theater producer and real estate investor Scott Griffin, who aims to secure the property and engage with the community to explore its future potential. Despite its struggles, St. Agnes holds a storied past, having hosted notable figures like Mother Teresa, and remains a symbol of resilience for the neighborhood as it begins to show signs of revitalization.
