CLINTON TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) - A Catholic center in Macomb County has been granted the title of Archdiocesan Shrine by Detroit Archbishop Allen Vigneron.
The recognition was given to The Divine Mercy Center in Clinton Township, north of Detroit, the archdiocese announced Friday.
The center was founded in 2006. It is under the care of the Servants of Jesus of The Divine Mercy, a lay association, and also home to The Women of Jesus’ Merciful Passion, a women’s community aspiring to become a religious order.
Vigneron said that with the designation, the “Shrine of Jesus The Divine Mercy will continue its service as a sacred place of pilgrimage, a font of tremendous grace and aid for many of Christ’s faithful, and a welcoming reflection of God’s enduring mercy to all souls.”
The Shrine of Jesus the Divine Mercy now is one of four shrines encompassing an entire campus in the Archdiocese of Detroit. The others are Our Lady of Fatima Shrine in Riverview, St. Joseph Shrine in Detroit and the Shrine of the Little Flower Basilica in Royal Oak.
