Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Ste. Anne de Detroit Catholic Church: Historic Catholic parish in metro Detroit under the Archdiocese of Detroit. Larger and longer-established than St. Lucy, with comparable sacramental, formation, and community service offerings.
• Catholic Charities of Southeast Michigan: Archdiocese-of-Detroit-affiliated social services organization operating food pantries, shelters, and community programs across southeast Michigan. Comparable outreach activities at significantly larger scale; represents both a peer in faith-based community service and a potential ecosystem partner.
• Archdiocese of Detroit: Ecclesiastical governing body overseeing all parishes in the region, including St. Lucy. Sets canonical authority, runs the Catholic Services Appeal, and operates the Unleash the Gospel initiative — functions directly affecting St. Lucy's operations.

Others

• MCREST (Macomb County Rotating Emergency Shelter Team): Interfaith rotating homeless shelter network hosted at St. Lucy and other Macomb County congregations. Comparable in mission (community outreach to vulnerable populations) and operates in the same geographic market as St. Lucy.
• Society of St. Vincent de Paul (Detroit): Catholic lay organization that partners with St. Lucy on food pantry operations (picking up, stocking, and packing food orders). Directly comparable as a faith-based social services organization in the Detroit archdiocese.

Direct peers

• St. Basil the Great (Eastpointe): Catholic parish in the adjacent Macomb County community and part of the 'Thresholds of Hope' family. Shares the same archdiocesan governance, sacramental service model, and outreach program structure as St. Lucy.
• St. Joan of Arc (St. Clair Shores): Fellow Catholic parish in St. Clair Shores and member of the same 'Thresholds of Hope' family of parishes. Directly comparable in mission, scale, service mix, and Archdiocese of Detroit governance.
• Our Lady Star of the Sea: Parish within the Thresholds of Hope family of parishes. Comparable Catholic congregation in the same archdiocesan cluster, offering similar sacramental, formation, and community outreach services.
• St. Veronica Catholic Parish: Member of the Thresholds of Hope family of parishes alongside St. Lucy. Operates under the same Archdiocese of Detroit framework with overlapping ministries (Mass, sacraments, faith formation, outreach).

Regional players

• St. Andrew's Church (Detroit): Catholic parish in Detroit from which St. Lucy acquired four religious statues for its 'Encountering Jesus Through Art' restoration project. Operates in the same archdiocese but in the city of Detroit rather than Macomb County.
