Nearly four out of 10 parishes in the Archdiocese of Detroit had budget deficits last fiscal year as some parish communities grapple with maintenance costs for aging buildings or undergo capital projects.

It is one of the reasons Archbishop Edward Weisenburger gave for reviewing the parishes and deciding which would stop holding masses.
