After more than 100 years, a Roman Catholic church in Detroit is closing, partly because Hispanics who worship there fear immigration agents.

The final Mass at All Saints Church was celebrated Sunday on Detroit's southwest side.

The congregation of 300 families will be encouraged to attend St. Gabriel, a nearby church.

All Saints Church in Detroit, Michigan is closing after more than 100 years of services. One reason is dwindling membership, which has been instigated in part by Hispanic parishioners' fears of a raid by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials on the church

All Saints was founded in 1896 and has been at its current site since the early 1900s, the Detroit Free Press reported Saturday.

The pastor at St. Gabriel, the Reverend Marc Gawronski, said there are many reasons for the closing of All Saints.

The church has weak finances, needs $160,000 worth of repairs and has been losing members.

A construction project on Interstate 75 has hurt attendance.

Gawronski said there has been an increase in raids and enforcement by federal immigration agents in the community.

Reverand Marc Gawronski said: 'People are even nervous about being able to get up in the morning and go to church.' The church is also closing due to poor finances and costly building repairs

Ila Mae Lancendorfer, the church's former music director and a life-long parishioner, said: 'The church has been just a very important part of my life - all my life'

Immigration agents have an 'informal agreement that they have affirmed that they will not go into churches and not hassle people going to church,' he said.

Nonetheless, 'people are even nervous about being able to get up in the morning and go to church'.

Only three people attended a Spanish Mass on a recent Wednesday night, the Free Press reported.

In 2012, the Detroit archbishop told All Saints and St. Gabriel to make plans for an eventual merger.

Ila Mae Lancendorfer, 81, lives just a few blocks from All Saints. It has been a place for many of her personal milestones, such as baptism, First Communion and marriage. She was the music director for 30 years.

The church added Spanish language services as its neighborhood saw an influx of Latino immigrants. At a recent Spanish language mass, there were only three parishioners. Pictured is a December 2017 protest against Immigration and Customs Enforcement in New York City

'The church has been just a very important part of my life - all my life,' Lancendorfer said.

All Saints Church previously ran a school for around 50 years.

As its neighborhood saw an influx of Latino immigrants, the church added Spanish language masses.

A new international bridge connecting Michigan and Canada is slated to be built in the church's neighborhood in the coming years.
