St Paul Albanian Catholic Community

St. Paul Albanian Catholic Community is a Roman Catholic parish at 525 W Auburn Rd in Rochester Hills, Michigan, established by the local Albanian community in 1981. It operates within the Archdiocese of Detroit, where it is listed in the parish directory as St. Paul (Albanian) Parish.

The parish serves more than 2,000 families across the greater metro Detroit area and describes itself as the largest Albanian Catholic parish outside the homeland. Its core work is liturgical and sacramental: weekend Masses on Saturday at 6:00 pm and Sunday at 10:00 am, 12:30 pm, and 6:30 pm, with weekday Masses Tuesday through Friday. Reconciliation is offered before Mass on most days, and Eucharistic Adoration is held Friday at 6:00 pm.

The campus also functions as a wedding venue for the community and hosts a statue of Skanderbeg, the Albanian national hero, anchoring the parish as a site of cultural memory as well as worship. Parish life sits alongside the adjacent Albanian American Club banquet facility, which extends the church grounds into a broader gathering place for metro Detroit's Albanian Catholics.

For a diaspora population concentrated in Oakland and Macomb counties, St. Paul anchors religious practice in the Albanian language and tradition, and serves as one of the most visible Albanian-American Catholic institutions in the United States.
