Welcome

We're glad that you are here, and we hope that you encounter Jesus in our community.

We're Glad You're Here!

We are a warm and inviting Catholic Church where all are embraced with open arms. If you are new to our community, we are thrilled to have you join us on this spiritual journey.


Whether you are seeking solace, guidance, or simply a new place to call home, we welcome you with love and acceptance. Come and experience the joy of worshiping together as one family in faith.

What's Our Mission?

We, the Roman Catholic faith community of Our Lady of the Woods, in communion with ONE, HOLY, CATHOLIC, and APOSTOLIC Church and under a patronage of Mary, are joined together as a people of God. Our mission is to spread the Gospel and bring people into a relationship with God and one another through the celebration of the Sacraments, especially the Holy Eucharist. We live out Christ’s mission in the world through evangelization, worship, education, stewardship, and service to the needy.


Bl. Solanus Casey

You're invited to venerate the Relic of Blessed Solanus Casey, OFM, Cap. within our Downriver Family of Parishes. The relic will be available throughout the week of October 25-29 for you and your family, friends and neighbors to implore his intercession to God on your behalf for your prayer requests. This event is open to the entire Downriver community and everyone is invited to attend.

Eyes On Jesus with Archbishop Vigneron

Episode 55: Faithful Citizenship

With the Nov. 5 election fast approaching, Archbishop Vigneron gives advice to Catholics trying to navigate election season in an increasingly polarized society.


He and our hosts draw from the wisdom of the Church and guidance from the U.S. bishops in their discussion about forming consciences, responding to divisiveness, and trusting that “whatever direction the history of the United States takes, ultimately, the Lord is in charge.”
