Sweetest Heart of Mary Church 4440 Russell St., Detroit The religious history of Detroit’s Polish community is complex and remains hotly disputed. In 1885, the parish of St. Albertus was polarized into two factions. Ultimately, a Father Dominic Hippolytus Kolasiñski was excommunicated. When he left in 1886 for the Dakota Territory, his followers in Detroit founded their own institutions parallel to that of the St. Albertus mainstream. What began as a religious school for the community’s children, soon became the Sweetest Heart of Mary Parish, operating without authorization from the Catholic Church of Detroit. Over the past century, the church did in fact fall into line with the Catholic Church authorities and has since bloomed into one of the most architecturally stunning churches in the city.
