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.
