Infant/Child Baptism

Baptism for Infants

Please call the parish office to make an appointment at least one month in advance of when you would like to have your child baptized.

Dear Parents,

We ask you to read it carefully and provide us with all information necessary as you prepare for the baptism of your child. All information needed is in conformity with the Guidelines for Infant Baptism for the Archdiocese of Detroit.

Baptism is no mere social convention, but the Sacrament in which Christ Himself purifies, justifies and sanctifies (cf. 1 Peter 1:23) your child for eternal life. We rejoice with you in the birth of your child and look forward to welcoming him/her into the family of God and the communion of the Holy Catholic Church.

Please contact our Parish Office 734-241-8910 if you have any questions, and may God bless you and your child.
