About Our Community
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 organized into four Regions — Central, Northeast, Northwest and South — each with four Vicariates, guided by one of the AOD's four Auxiliary Bishops.
Central Macomb Vicariate is located in the Northeast Region. Our Regional Moderator is Bishop Robert Fisher.
The Central Macomb Vicar is Father Joseph Gembala at St. Malachy in Sterling Heights, MI
