Allen Henry Vigneron (born October 21, 1948) is an American Catholic prelate who has served as Archbishop of Detroit and Ecclesiastical Superior of the Cayman Islands since 2009.

[1][3] After his 1975 ordination, the archdiocese assigned Vigneron as an associate pastor of Our Lady Queen of Peace Parish in Harper Woods, Michigan.

In 1991, Vigneron served in Rome as an official in the Vatican Secretariat of State and as adjunct instructor at the Gregorian University.

[5] Pope Benedict XVI appointed Vigneron as archbishop of Detroit on January 5, 2009, replacing Cardinal Maida.

This note ended required Sunday sports practices and games in Catholic schools, with the aim of refocusing the sabbath on prayer, family and rest.

[10] According to the Washington Post, the group's work led to an unsuccessful effort by conservative bishops to approve a document at the June 2021 USCCB meeting that would have penalized Catholic politicians who support abortion rights for women.

[12] In December 2020, a lawsuit accused Vigernon of failing to investigate complaints of sexual abuse at Orchard Lake Schools, an educational center in the archdiocese.

The plaintiff claimed to have been raped in 2010 when he was eight years-old by Aloysius Volskis, then a teacher at Bishop Kelly Catholic School in Lapeer, Michigan.

The archdiocese had assigned Volkis to Bishop Kelly after he was accused of sexual misconduct at Divine Providence Parish in Southfield, Michigan.

[14][15] On February 11, 2025, Pope Francis accepted Vigneron's retirement as archbishop of Detroit and superior of the Cayman Islands, and he named bishop Edward Weisenburger to succeed him.

Restricting or sacrificing these religious rights and liberties out of fear – instead of defending them and protecting them in the name of mutual respect and justice – is a rationalization which fractures the very foundation of morality on which we stand.
