Curia Directors and Cabinet

The Archdiocesan Curia is the collective name for the central administrative offices and their staffs. In the Detroit archdiocese, this structure is organized into departments and their component offices.

Cabinet of the Curia

The cabinet is made up of the archdiocesan department directors, headed by the Moderator of the Curia. The board serves as an advisory resource for the Archbishop and his appointed delegates on administrative matters affecting the Archdiocese of Detroit. The Cabinet of the Curia meets regularly, usually weekly.
