“Holy Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the Spirit, and the door which gives access to the other sacraments. ” Catechism of the Catholic Church, #1213)

I would like to have my child baptized at St. Paul. What do I need to do?

• Email Theresa Sommer or call the Parish Office at 313-885-8855, extension 149.
• Sign up to attend a Baptism Preparation Class. Parents and God Parents are required to take a Baptism Preparation class before the sacrament takes place. These classes are held on the third Saturday of each month from 9:00 am - 11:00 am.
• Once Baptism Preparation is complete, a date for the Baptism can be scheduled. Baptisms for infants are celebrated immediately after the 12:00 noon Mass on the second and fourth Sundays of the month.
