Saint Michael the Archangel Church, Catholic church in Monroe, Michigan, US

Saint Michael the Archangel Church is a Roman Catholic parish church on the west side of Monroe, Michigan, beside the River Raisin. The present building was erected in 1866–1867, and its 187-foot steeple was added in 1883. Inside are three altars, paintings and statues, and a rose window above the altar, the last surviving original stained glass window.

The church began serving German-speaking immigrant families in 1852, with the current building constructed between 1866 and 1867 under Bishop Peter Paul Lefevre's approval. This period marks the growth of the community from its early beginnings to an established presence in the city.

The interior features life-size stations of the cross created in 1923 by artisan Matthew Ising, along with religious paintings and statues throughout the space. These artworks shape the spiritual experience visitors have when entering.

The church stands on the west side of Monroe along the River Raisin, with the 1874 three-story rectory just east of it. An east entrance was added in the 1980s. Visitors should check current Mass times in advance, since the parish serves over 1,000 registered families.

The rose window above the altar is the sole surviving original stained glass window from the 1860s construction period. This rare window has endured through all subsequent renovations and stands as a testament to the original craftsmanship.
