The Cathedral of the Most Blessed Sacrament is a Neo-Gothic style Roman Catholic cathedral of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Detroit. The cathedral is located at 9844 Woodward Avenue in Detroit, Michigan, in the United States, adjacent to the Boston-Edison Historic District. The cathedral was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
Construction started on Most Blessed Sacrament as a parish church in 1905, but it was not dedicated until 1930. After the Diocese of Detroit became the Archdiocese of Detroit in 1923, the church was repurposed as the cathedral. Construction of its towers and facade was not completed until 1951, the year of the cathedral's consecration. Pope John Paul II briefly visited Most Blessed Sacrament in 1987.
