What is a Vicariate?

A Vicariate is a group of parishes within an Archdiocese, defined by geographic area for the purposes of administration. The Archdiocese of Detroit's 225 parishes are sectioned into 4 Regions- Central, Northeast, Northwest and South- that have 4 Vicariates apiece. Each Region is guided by one of the AOD's 4 Auxiliary Bishops. Central Macomb Vicariate is located in the Northeast Region. Our Regional Moderator is Bishop Robert Fisher.

The 16 Vicariates located within the Archdiocese of Detroit are each represented by a cleric as its Vicar. The Central Macomb Vicar is Father Joseph Gembala at St. Malachy in Sterling Heights, MI

Supporting the Catholic Church

  • What will you do with your life? Have you ever thought of committing your existence totally to Christ? What could be more significant than to bring Christ to people and people to Christ? Be still and ask: Where is Jesus calling you? Will you live a life worthy of the calling you have received? Do not be afraid.
