St. Agnes Catholic Church is a former Catholic parish located in the LaSalle Park neighborhood of Detroit, Michigan. The church was notable for hosting Mother Teresa in 1979 when she established a Missionaries of Charity convent at the church.[1] In 1990, the St. Agnes parish was closed, reopening as Martyrs of Uganda Parish and closing again in 2006. It was sold to developers in 2009 and approved for rezoning in 2022. A fire severely damaged the property in June 2025.[2]
