St. Mary Magdalen is a territorial parish of the Diocese of Lansing, located in Brighton, Michigan. The parish is dedicated to Saint Mary Magdalen, the disciple honored in the Gospels as the first witness to the Resurrection of Christ and traditionally venerated as the "Apostle to the Apostles."
Established in 1993, St. Mary Magdalen was formed to serve the growing Catholic population of Brighton and the surrounding communities of Livingston County. As a diocesan territorial parish, it is staffed by clergy of the Diocese of Lansing rather than by a religious order.
The parish continues to serve area Catholics through regular sacramental life, faith formation, and community outreach rooted in the witness of its patroness.
History
According to available sources, St. Mary Magdalen Parish was founded in 1993 by the Diocese of Lansing to meet the pastoral needs of Catholics in Brighton, a community in Livingston County that experienced significant population growth in the late twentieth century.[1] Limited public documentation exists regarding the parish's earliest years, including the specific circumstances of its founding and the construction of its first worship space.
Since its establishment, the parish has grown alongside Brighton's expanding suburban population, developing parish ministries, religious education programs, and community outreach initiatives consistent with those of other territorial parishes in the Diocese of Lansing.[2]
