St. Paul of Tarsus Church - Est.
Our History
In the late 18th century, Moravian missionaries arrived to the area after having been forced to flee their Ohio settlement during the American Revolution. Their new settlement, situated on what is now Moravian Drive, was called New Gnaden Hutten (New Tents of Grace). The Moravians set right to work on the infrastructure for the area, building a twenty-three mile route from Gnaden Hutten to Tremble’s Grist Mill on Conner Creek, the first inland road built in Michigan. For the next two hundred years, the Christian faith continued to grow in this area.
In the spring of , one hundred and fifty local Catholic families submitted a petition to the Archdiocese of Detroit, asking for the establishment of a new church in Clinton Township. Three months later, the Archdiocese responded by designating the area a “parish in formation” and appointing Rev. Francis A. Zielinski as its pastor. Father Zielinski was asked to determine the viability of a new parish and organized a number of exploratory meetings with local pastors and leadership. It became apparent very quickly that the area was ready and eager for a new parish and the Archdiocese dedicated eleven acres of land on the corner of Romeo Plank and Canal Roads for a new parish.

St. Paul
The historic records bearing on St. Paul are fuller than those for any Scriptural saint. We have Paul's own wonderful writings, the fourteen letters included in the New Testament, which outline his missionary journeys, exhort and admonish the various Christian congregations, discuss ethics and doctrinal matters; and in the midst of all this we get a revelation of the man himself, his inner character, his problems and fears. St. Luke's Acts of the Apostles and certain apocryphal books are other sources of our knowledge of St. Paul. Of all the founders of the Church, Paul was perhaps the most brilliant and many-sided, the broadest in outlook, and therefore the best endowed to carry Christianity to alien lands and peoples.
Born into a well-to-do Jewish family of Tarsus, the son of a Roman citizen, Saul (as we shall call him until after his conversion) was sent to Jerusalem to be trained in the famous rabbinical school headed by Gamaliel. Here, in addition to studying the Law and the Prophets, he learned a trade, as was the custom. Young Saul chose the trade of tent-making. Although his upbringing was orthodox, while still at home in Tarsus he had come under the liberalizing Hellenic influences which at this time had permeated all levels of urban society in Asia Minor.
