WELCOME to the website of Saints Peter & Paul Romanian Orthodox Church of Dearborn Heights, Michigan.  We hope that this information will give you a good impression of our parish family, and we invite all to visit us and join us if you are looking for a spiritual home.  Our doors are open to all - both American and Romanian born faithful - who wish to live and learn the Holy Orthodox Faith: the Faith passed down from Jesus Christ to His Apostles, and from those Apostles down through the Church over the centuries to us today.
