On Thursday, July 23, Archbishop Weisenburger gathered with priests from across the United States who are studying for their Licentiate in Sacred Theology at Sacred Heart Major Seminary for a dinner and evening of fraternity. Each summer, clergy from various dioceses and religious orders spend several weeks at Detroit's seminary learning, praying and studying. The priests were joined at the archbishop's residence by a few of Sacred Heart's faculty members.

On Wednesday, July 22, Archbishop Weisenburger joined 5,200 fellow Catholics in worshipping the Lord and proclaiming hope for the city of Detroit during the inaugural Rising from the Ashes Revival. The historic event, which took place at downtown Detroit's Huntington Place and included a massive Eucharistic procession through the city's streets, brought the local Church together in a day filled with faith, a joyful witness that Christ is alive and at work in our Church. Raising the monstrance with the Blessed Sacrament high, the archbishop blessed the city on the banks of the Detroit River, not far from where Detroit's first Mass was celebrated 325 years ago. "For those who embrace the Gospel of Jesus Christ, there's very, very good reason for us to be truly a people of hope," the archbishop said.

On Sunday, July 12, Archbishop Weisenburger baptized baby William James Mauk at the Cathedral of the Most Blessed Sacrament in Detroit, joining William’s parents and family members for a joyous celebration and reception. Through the sacrament of baptism, William received God’s grace as a new Christian, with his parents and godparents pledging to support him as he grows in the faith. William is the grandson of Patricia Valenti, a coworker of the archbishop’s in the Archdiocese of Detroit’s chancery.

On Thursday, July 2, leaders of the Chaldean Community Foundation invited Archbishop Weisenburger to tour the foundation's community center in West Bloomfield. The newly renovated, 42,184-square-foot facility, which opened in 2025, houses the Chaldean American Chamber of Commerce, the Chaldean Community Foundation, Chaldean News and serves as a hub for other community resources and services, including the Bishop Ibrahim Library, Chaldean Museum, classrooms, a 72-seat theater, as well as radio and podcast studios that are utilized by the Chaldean Catholic community. Founded in 2006, the Chaldean Community Foundation serves tens of thousands of immigrants and individuals each year from 70 countries of origin, focusing on health, advocacy, stability and wellness.

As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the birth of our nation this weekend, and mindful of our baptismal call to promote the common good and the God-given dignity of our brothers and sisters through civic participation, Archbishop Weisenburger invites the faithful to reflect this week upon these passages from Pope Leo XIV’s recent encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas. May God guide our democracy, keeping us ever mindful of our responsibility to our neighbors, to our country, and to our Lord.
