St. Irenaeus Catholic Church

About this church

St. Irenaeus Catholic Church celebrates Mass at 5 p.m. Saturday and 9:45 and 11:30 a.m. Sunday at 771 Old Perch Road in Rochester Hills. The 9:45 Sunday liturgy is livestreamed, and Reconciliation begins at 3:30 p.m. Saturday. The parish's first two Masses were held at West Junior High School before its first church was dedicated in January 1968. Growth later led to the present building, dedicated in November 1980.

Middle School Ministry serves sixth- and seventh-grade students through prayer, large- and small-group learning, faith-building exercises, and preparation for Confirmation. Service extends across several practical care ministries. Good Samaritan volunteers call or visit people who are temporarily or permanently homebound, send cards, provide meals, run errands, and help with transportation to medical appointments or Mass. Parish teams also prepare and serve lunches at Grace Centers of Hope's Women and Children's Center in Pontiac and support adult shelter meals. Bereavement volunteers maintain contact after funeral Masses and help with parish funeral luncheons. Those specific ministries make St. Irenaeus useful to families navigating illness, grief, or adolescent faith formation, not only to weekend worshipers. New visitors can watch the 9:45 Mass first, while Catholics seeking confession can arrive before the Saturday Vigil.
