Our History
Ramallah PhotoThe early settlers to Detroit started arriving in the 1920’s. As they settled and opened businesses they encouraged others from the ‘Old Country’ to join them. As the community grew, the idea of forming a Ramallah Club in Detroit first surfaced in the late 1940’s. A small group of students first created a student organization, the Hathihe Ramallah (this is Ramallah) magazine on the campus of Wayne State University in 1947. The Hathihe Ramallah magazine served as a vehicle to maintain social ties with other immigrants from Ramallah throughout America. Shortly afterwards, the Ramallah Club of Detroit incorporated in Wayne County as a social, cultural and educational organization.
In the early 1950’s, meetings were held in homes of our members. As the community grew, the Ramallah Club started to meet at the YMCA on West Grand Boulevard at Dexter. In the early 1960’s, they started meeting at the YMCA on Grand River at Beech Daly. In 1992, the Ramallah Club of Detroit purchased its clubhouse in Westland. This property also serves as headquarters of the American Federation of Ramallah, Palestine which was established in 1958.
Today, the Ramallah Club of Detroit has an active membership of three hundred amongst 600 households in the Metropolitan Detroit area. We are proud of the success and accomplishments that the Detroit community has produced over the last fifty years.

Organization Name: Academia de San Diego
Organization Overview: San Juan Diego Academy is a K-8 Catholic School designed to serve the educational needs of Latino immigrant families and is the only Catholic School in the Diocese of Grand Rapids serving primarily Latino children. The School is located on the campus of Holy Name of Jesus Church, but serves families from various neighborhoods throughout the greater Grand Rapids community.
San Juan Diego Academy operates through the support and financial investment of six Catholic Parishes: the Cathedral of St. Andrew, Holy Name of Jesus, St. Joseph the Worker, St. Francis Xavier/Our Lady of Guadalupe, Our Lady of Sorrow and St. Mary. For more information, please visit the School’s website at www.sanjuandiegoacademy.com
With the support of the Bishop, San Juan Diego Academy opened its doors in August 2011, through the collaboration, financial investment and shared vision of six urban Catholic parishes: the Cathedral of St. Andrew, Holy Name of Jesus, St. Joseph the Worker, St. Francis Xavier/Our Lady of Guadalupe, Our Lady of Sorrow and St. Mary. All six of the partnering parishes have a strong Latino presence.
Recognizing that a single parish school was no longer feasbile in an urban community, the establishment of San Juan Diego Academy allowed us to chart a new course for Catholic education in our community. By working together, we have been able to establish a sustainable model for Catholic education in the 21st century and ensure that a high quality Catholic education remains a viable option for families living in our city’s most economically challenged neighborhoods.
For over 150 years, Catholic schools in the Diocese of Grand Rapids have educated the children of immigrants, struggling to start a new life in the U.S. These schools helped them succeed. At San Juan Diego Academy, we strive to carry on this tradition and provide a high quality, faith-centered education designed to meet the needs of Latino immigrant children in our community.

Organization Name: Sikh Society of Michigan Madison Heights
Organization Overview: All visitors to a Sikh Gurdwara should be aware of the following guidelines when visiting:
Please dress appropriately so that you can comfortably and with decency sit on the carpeted floor. It is recommended that all visitors to the Gurdwara wear loose fitting clothing which covers most of your legs. Low hanging or tight-fitting pants may not be suitable. Please try sitting on the carpeted floor at home for a short period to see if the clothing is suitable.
All visitors entering the Main Prayer Hall, called the Darbar Sahib and the Dining (Langar) Hall will have to remove their shoes and place them in the shoe racks provided.
No smoking is allowed in the vicinity of the Gurdwara premises. Visitors cannot enter the Gurdwara while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. You should not take cigarettes or tobacco with you into the premises or smoke while near the Gurdwara or soon before going into the Gurdwara.
All visitors MUST cover their heads while in the main Gurdwara areas. The Gurdwara usually has a box of scarves, but you can bring your own headscarf for this purpose. Other hats and caps (e.g. baseball-style caps) may not appropriate (please check with the Gurdwara officials). Sikh men normally wear a turban. Sikh ladies usually wear a "Chunni", which is normally a long, flowing, semi-transparent plain cloth with a decorated, veiled edging.
Chairs are not provided in the Gurdwara (except for those with medical conditions) and so, when sitting, this will be on the carpeted floor both in the Main Prayer Hall (Darbar Sahib) and in the Langar Hall.
On first entering the large prayer room (called the Darbar Sahib), a small bow to the Guru Granth Sahib (the holy book) shows respect to the host community. Backs should not be turned on the Guru Granth Sahib or the soles of the feet pointed towards the Sikh holy book when sitting on the carpet (as a mark of respect). It is normal to sit cross-legged yoga style. It may be a good idea to practice this at home if possible before your trip to the Gurdwara.
Visitors will usually be offered Kara Parshad (sweet flour and oil based food offered as a gift) in the worship hall, which is usually given in cupped hands and eaten with the right hand. If you are uncertain about your ability to eat a lot of this food – Say “very small portion” to the Sewadar (volunteer) serving the Kara Parshad. You should take a small plastic bag (or ask for one from the Sewadar (volunteer) serving the Kara Parshad) to save your Kara Parshad if it is not to your taste – Please do not refuse it or throw it away.
You may be offered Langar (vegetarian food from the communal kitchen). If not too certain about consuming this food you can ask to be excused although most people should take langar as it is regarded as a blessing by the Guru. When in the Langar Hall, it is better to ask for less rather than take too much and waste the food. Say “very little” to the Sewadar (volunteer) serving the Langar. If you require more later, just wait for the Sewadar to come around.
