Thanks Dan. St. Hugo was an 11th century monk who was instrumental in developing monasteries, hospitals and more. St. Hugo of the Hills is a parish in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan that was built on the former estate of Ted McManus, a pioneer in automotive advertising. McManus’s sons died young and he offered to give the archdiocese about 40 acres of property and build a church on the land if they would allow internment of his sons in a crypt below the church. The archdiocese had to get dispensation from the pope to make it happen. Today, the entire McManus family is in a crypt below the old church. A newer church was built some 40 years ago. The parish thrives in the heavily catholic and rather wealthy community. Most of the kids in my sub go to the elementary school, which still has five teaching nuns, very rare these days. The football team is called the Vikings, BTW, even though the parish is heavily Irish.
