DETROIT — One of Michigan’s oldest and most historically significant Catholic churches, the Basilica of Ste. Anne in southwest Detroit, will be preserved for generations to come thanks to a “transformative partnership” between Ste. Anne Parish and The Catholic Initiative, a new nonprofit created by the Pulte Family Charitable Foundation.
As part of the partnership, The Catholic Initiative will embark upon a $30 million rehabilitation of the historic basilica and its property, as well as create a $20 million endowment to provide for future capital needs and operational support in perpetuity, including repairs, routine maintenance, and the financial support of an on-site priest.
