Dear Deacon Sanders,
Greetings in the Name of Jesus!

I hope that all is well at Presentation/Our Lady of Victory Parish.  Our pastor asked me to contact you to see if you might have any ideas about parishes in the Detroit area that would want to build a "sister parish" relationship with us at St. Francis of Assisi Parish, Ann Arbor.  We are a parish of 2900 households (approximately 7000 members).   We also have a parish school.

I am employed as the full time social ministry director & I have been asked to begin a search for an additional "sister parish".   Do you have any ideas that you might share with me/us?

We currently have a relationship with St. Benedict Catholic Church & School, in Highland Park, and we intend to keep it.  Although, we do enjoy our relationship with St. Benedict, we are looking for an additional sister parish that has more people that would want to develop a relationship. 
Learn more about our relationship with St. Benedict at this web page:
