Baptism
Baptism is the one sacrament that all Christian denominations share in common. In the Catholic Church, infants are baptized to welcome them into the Catholic faith.
Before having a meeting with Fr. Todd you will watch these three videos from Dynamic Catholic's program Starting Point: https://www.dynamiccatholic.com/plus/starting-point.html.
For each video they will write one paragraph on what stood out to them, what they are taking away from it as they prepare for their child's baptism. For more information, Please read the letter listed below.

For Infants
If you are a parent and are interested in having your child baptized, please contact the parish office 517-547-7496. To have your baby baptized into the Roman Catholic Church it is presumed that you, as parents, are currently actively participating in the Catholic Faith as practicing registered members of St. Mary on the Lake. In preparation for Baptism, it is required that for the first child, parents participate in a class that will prepare them for the baptism of their child.
For Adults
If you are an adult and are interested in exploring Christian baptism, we invite you to explore our faith in Jesus Christ. Please contact the parish office if you are interested in joining the Catholic Church through the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA).
