St. Albertus Fest September 13, 2008

The St. Albertus Fest is an annual fundraising and publicity event Held every year @ Historic St. Albertus on St. Aubin at Canfield. Held by the Polish American Historic Site Association (PAHSA), the purpose of the festival is to raise awareness (and maybe some money) for the St. Albertus Historic site. St. Albertus was the first Polish Catholic Church in Detroit (est. 1872) and the Heart of the area of Detroit once known as “POLETOWN”. After its closure by the Archdiocese in 1990 a group of former Parishioners, Historians, and Preservationists established a 501-C3 non-profit under the name PAHSA, and reopened St. Albertus as a cultural history museum. PAHSA holds the St. Albertus Fest to remind the Detroit community that St. Albertus not only still exists, but is as beautiful and impressive as ever. For the first three years, an eclectic mix of local musicians has dedicated their time and talent to the festival in support of our cause. We are looking forward to another outstanding lineup this year so please join us for the fouth annual St. Albertus fest and help us fill the campus with the soul and passion that made it a Registered National Historic Site. If you love Art, History, Architecture, Music, Food or even Beer, then you don’t want to miss the St. Albertus Fest.
