We're here to help foster communication between alumni and to celebrate our special memories of St. Alphonsus Schools.
St. Alphonsus is one of those rare instances where the opening of the school preceded the founding of the parish. The first Catholic services were said in 1842 by the Redemptorist Fathers of Detroit. St. Alphonsus school was established in 1846. It was not until a decade later, in 1852, that a parish was formally organized.

St. Alphonsus Library - January 2024
Fr. Anthony Kote-Witah celebrated mass at St. Alphonsus-St. Clement for the Feast of Mary, the Mother of God on December. 31 and January 1. He enthusiastically expressed his gratitude for the support from the parish for the orphanage he is building in his home village of Ogoni in Nigeria. The orphanage will house the homeless and orphans who are victims of crisis, war, and natural disasters. Last year the parish donated approximately 9,000 books rescued from the school library before the buildings were demolished. The books arrived in Nigeria in November 2023, and recently ground was broken to start construction of the orphanage. The Ogoni Shepard Foundation is a nonprofit organization created by Fr. Anthony for the purpose of building the orphanage.

Catholic Mass Mob of Detroit at St. Alphonsus-St. Clement – Aug. 11, 2024
The Mass Mob was a joyful experience for St. Alphonsus-St. Clement Parish. It was estimated that around 500 people attended Mass and appreciated the “hidden treasurers” of our nearly one hundred-year-old-church building. It was reported this was the largest participation by the “Mass Mob” in the last 4 years. They were treated to the best!
