Our Lady of Albanians Parish — Kisha Katolike Zoja Pajtore e Shqiptarëve — is a Roman Catholic parish of the Archdiocese of Detroit at 29350 Lahser Road in Southfield, Michigan. It serves primarily the Albanian Catholic community of metro Detroit, and the Archdiocese groups it within the Northwest South Oakland 6 Family of Parishes in the South Oakland Vicariate.
The parish is registered with the IRS as a 501(c)(3) public charity. Clergy assignments listed through the Archdiocese of Detroit's directory and parish finder include Rev. Frederik Kalaj, Rev. Dik Cekrezi, and Rev. Kemal Kokona. The office can be reached at 248-353-3410.
Weekday Mass is celebrated Monday through Friday at 8:00 am in Albanian. The weekend schedule, as published by the Archdiocese and DiscoverMass, is Saturday at 6:00 pm (7:00 pm in summer) and Sunday at 10:00 am and 4:30 pm, with confessions on Saturday before evening Mass and on Sunday at 9:30 am and 4:00 pm. The parish's own Facebook page has also listed a Sunday English Mass at 10:00 am with an Albanian Mass at 12:30 pm, so visitors should confirm current times directly with the office.
Beyond regular liturgy, the parish hosts special spiritual events — for example, a Divine Mercy Conference and Healing Workshop with Fr. Jose on July 1, 2024, which was recorded and posted publicly. Albanian-language Mass, the bilingual parish name, and listings in Albanian community directories together mark it as one of the religious anchors for Albanian Catholics in the Detroit area.
