In 2021, as the Basilica of Ste. Anne de Detroit began a capital campaign, Archbishop Vigneron and Monsignor Charles Kosanke approached one of Detroit’s most faithful supporters, the Pulte Family Charitable Foundation. The Pulte family and Archdiocese of Detroit have had a strong relationship for over 50 years. William J Pulte, founder of the foundation, is now represented by his son, Mark T. Pulte.
Throughout his lifetime, William J. Pulte contributed over $200 million to the Archdiocese of Detroit. We remain committed to this legacy by supporting the Pope Francis Center, Michigan Hispanic Collaborative, and numerous other Detroit-based nonprofits, all in alignment with the seven corporal works of mercy.
