The Solanus Casey Center is one of the 12 pilgrimage sites designated by the Archdiocese of Detroit for the 2025 Jubilee Year of Hope. Curious visitors walk through the doors off the courtyard on Mt. Elliot Street, reminiscent of the doors Blessed Solanus portered, and instantly begin walking a hopeful path toward sainthood.
The home of the Capuchin friar remains open to daily visitors who come for Mass, confession, to pray at his tomb and to explore the Solanus Casey Center, built in 2002, which features a newly renovated museum dedicated to his life, a bookstore and a bakery and café. The center sees approximately 10,000 visitors a month, and the nearby Capuchin Soup Kitchen, cofounded by Blessed Solanus in 1929, serves 1,000 meals a day.
