Infant Baptisms

Infant Baptisms are offered 4 times a year. The three-session preparation for infants and young children (through age 6) are held on Saturday afternoons prior to each scheduled baptism.

Participants join with other families in exploring the Sacrament of Baptism and the commitment it requires of them as parents. Sessions include personal reflection, sharing and dialogue. A special welcome is extended to non-Catholic parents to participate in these sessions and share their stories. Please call the parish office at 313-537-5770 to register or for more information.
 

Sacraments of Reconciliation and First Eucharist

Preparation for the Sacraments of Reconciliation and First Eucharist begins in the fall and includes children who are seven years old (in 2nd grade) or older. Registration brochures are available in the gathering space of the church and the parish office.

Preparations for both sacraments are done in two parts. In part one, as your child enters the age of reason, we help him/her unfold the moral and faith responsibilities we have a Christians. In part two, we help your child explore what it means to be a part of a faith community as a whole.

Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA)

The Rite of Christian Initiation is the modern process for becoming a Catholic – an opportunity to grow in one’s experience of knowing Jesus Christ. We welcome those who have never before been part of a Christian church, those who have been members of Christian churches that are not Catholic, and Catholics who have been baptized and wish to continue the process to become a full member in the Catholic Church.

RCIA Adapted for Children RCIA for Children is the process for preparing children age seven and older for the Sacraments of Initiation: Baptism, Eucharist and Confirmation.
