Epiphany School & Church

Here's where all of the Moir children went to grade school and Sunday Mass (the church is now Divine Inspiration Baptist Church and the school is a library and learning academy). It is less than a five minute walk from where they lived. Msgr. LeFevre (more on him later) told me that at the turn of the century when Detroit was booming the Bishop made sure that every Catholic in the Diocese could walk to church and school. Consequently, unlike most major cities, there are literally Catholic parishes a half mile apart throughout the city(although most are now closed are converted to other uses). These buildings are summarily beautiful and you can see why Detroit (per Poppa) was considered the nicest city in America one hundred years ago).
