On Sunday, Aug. 9, Archbishop Weisenburger attended the 45th annual Sweetest Heart of Mary Pierogi Festival, enjoying delicious Polish food, exceptional company and one of Detroit's most cherished parish traditions. This year's festival drew one of the largest crowds the parish has seen so far, with hundreds stopping by to take in the sights, sounds and magnificence of the beautiful church, which has been a source of faith for generations of families.

On Saturday, Aug. 8, Archbishop Weisenburger celebrated Mass with women from across the Archdiocese of Detroit during the annual Black Catholic Women's Conference at Sacred Heart Major Seminary in Detroit. Inspired by Matthew 14:28-33, the conference's theme was “Rooted in the Peace of Christ: Persevering Through the World’s Chaos.” In his homily, Archbishop Weisenburger spoke about the growing individualism in society and the temptation to keep faith private and comfortable. Instead, he said, Christ calls people into a relationship with God and with one another.

On Thursday, July 23, Archbishop Weisenburger gathered with priests from across the United States who are studying for their Licentiate in Sacred Theology at Sacred Heart Major Seminary for a dinner and evening of fraternity. Each summer, clergy from various dioceses and religious orders spend several weeks at Detroit's seminary learning, praying and studying. The priests were joined at the archbishop's residence by a few of Sacred Heart's faculty members.

On Wednesday, July 22, Archbishop Weisenburger joined 5,200 fellow Catholics in worshipping the Lord and proclaiming hope for the city of Detroit during the inaugural Rising from the Ashes Revival. The historic event, which took place at downtown Detroit's Huntington Place and included a massive Eucharistic procession through the city's streets, brought the local Church together in a day filled with faith, a joyful witness that Christ is alive and at work in our Church. Raising the monstrance with the Blessed Sacrament high, the archbishop blessed the city on the banks of the Detroit River, not far from where Detroit's first Mass was celebrated 325 years ago. "For those who embrace the Gospel of Jesus Christ, there's very, very good reason for us to be truly a people of hope," the archbishop said.

On Sunday, July 12, Archbishop Weisenburger baptized baby William James Mauk at the Cathedral of the Most Blessed Sacrament in Detroit, joining William’s parents and family members for a joyous celebration and reception. Through the sacrament of baptism, William received God’s grace as a new Christian, with his parents and godparents pledging to support him as he grows in the faith. William is the grandson of Patricia Valenti, a coworker of the archbishop’s in the Archdiocese of Detroit’s chancery.
