PAST EVENTS
The French Novena at Ste. Anne de Detroit and the Detroit French History Cruise on July 23, 2023 was a meaningful and fun experience for all!
Sunday, July23,2023 was the day of the annual French Novena at Ste. Anne de Detroit. The noon mass was attended by people of French descent or whose families once called Ste. Anne's their home parish. The mass was followed by a wonderful buffet in the church hall which featured many French and French Canadian entrees and desserts. To say the least, everyone was well-fed and happy!
Then it was time to take a boat ride for the Detroit French History Cruise on the Detroit River, the main highway of the 18th century. Host John Cooper did an excellent job narrating the historical tour and pointing out all the French landmarks along the river route.
Between John's narrative, lively traditional French Canadian music was provided by Too Happy Voyageurs.
Next year promises to be just as much fun so mark your calendars now for the French Novena and the Detroit French History Cruise on Sunday, July 22, 2024. Tickets will be available for sale on this website.
