The Ramallah Club of Metropolitan Detroit is part of the American Federation of Ramallah, Palestine which is a non-political, non-profit organization IRC 501(c) (7). Each member can trace our family lines to the founders of the city of Ramallah, which serves as the provisional seat of Government of Palestine. Our purpose is to help maintain the culture and heritage of the Ramallah people and to educate our children and the public our culture and heritage. As one of the largest communities of descendants from Ramallah in the United States, we are proud to serve the Detroit community in many ways.
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 Overview: Office hours are limited, but please call to set a time when staff can meet with you! The office is open 8:30 am-12 pm Mon//Wed/Thu/Fri and by appointment.
St. Mary Church was started in 1857 to serve the German population in the Grand Rapids area. In 1873, the original church building was replaced with our landmark Gothic-style building, designed by the eminent architect Franz G. Himpler. It is one of the oldest extant Catholic Churches in GR. The parish recently completed extensive repair and restoration work on the church building to ensure that it continues to support the work of the people in the years to come.
These church walls have heard prayers for over 135 years. Faith has been nourished and strengthened and handed on to the following generations. St. Mary now serves a diverse population of English and Spanish-speaking Catholics. You are welcome to stop in!

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.

WHAT DO ORTHODOX CHRISTIANS BELIEVE?
The principal tenets of the Orthodox faith are contained in the Nicene/Constantinopolitan Creed (commonly called the Nicene Creed). Orthodox Christians believe in the Blessed Trinity, the Divinity of Christ, His virgin birth and His glorious resurrection. The Orthodox church is in direct continuity with the Church founded by Jesus Christ. It does not trace its origins to any other reformer or founder. The Orthodox Church is a very traditional church in matters of faith and worship.
HOW DOES A PERSON BECOME A MEMBER OF THE ORTHODOX CHURCH?
Ordinarily, a person becomes a member of the Orthodox Church by being born again of water and the Holy Spirit in the Sacraments of Baptism and Chrismation (Confirmation). Adults who have been baptized in non-Orthodox churches become members by a profession of faith and the Sacrament of Chrismation. This occurs after a period of instruction in the Orthodox faith.
