The Archdiocese of Detroit operates a multi-institution Catholic network across six counties, managing parishes, schools, athletic programs, and social services. The organization is mid-market in scale (1,001–5,000 employees) with hiring concentrated in education (nearly 40% of open roles), reflecting its dual identity as both a faith institution and an operator of K-12 schools and youth programs. Active compliance challenges—ACA, Title I, accreditation, and internal controls—shape operational priorities alongside volunteer recruitment and housing-stability initiatives.
Notable leadership hires: Head Soccer Coach, Director of Religious Education, Athletic Director, Admissions Director, Discipleship Formation Director
