The Most Holy Redeemer Church located at 1721 Junction Ave., in Detroit, Michigan is part of the West Vernor-Junction Historic District.[1] The Church was once estimated as the largest Roman Catholic parish in North America.[1][2] West Vernor-Junction Historic District is adjacent to Mexicantown and contains a large vibrant Latino community and resurgent neighborhoods.

The parish contains a longstanding elementary school, along with Detroit Cristo Rey High School, which has operated since 2008 at the location of the former Holy Redeemer High School.[3]

As in the other Southwest Detroit neighborhoods, such as Springwells Village, West Vernor Highway is the main commercial thoroughfare. Churches, parks, recreation centers, and theatres anchor neighborhoods such as the West Vernor-Junction intersection that Holy Redeemer Church dominates.

The Hollywood movie, The Rosary Murders (1987), starring actor Donald Sutherland, prominently featured the Church and the neighbhorhood.
