The Most Holy Redeemer Church is located at 1721 Junction Street in Southwest Detroit, Michigan, within the West Vernor–Junction Historic District.

Services were held at first, above Patrick Ratigan's general store on West Jefferson Avenue and later in what was then known as Paddy McMahon's Saloon.

As Irish and German residents moved to the suburbs, people of Latin American descent from the Corktown area of Detroit took their place.

Churches, parks, recreation centers, and theaters anchor neighborhoods such as the West Vernor-Junction intersection that Holy Redeemer parish dominates.

The Hollywood movie The Rosary Murders (1987), starring actors Donald Sutherland and Charles Durning, prominently featured the church and the neighborhood.
