Baptism of Children
Baptisms are generally held on the second Sunday of each month following the 11:45 Mass. Please watch the bulletin or contact the parish office as dates may change.
You are encouraged to prepare for your child's baptism during the pregnancy or adoption process so that your child may be baptized as soon as possible. If you have a child under 6 years of age that is in need of baptism you must first attend a baptism class and a meeting with Fr. Jim. The next baptism class is listed below, if no date is listed please call the parish office to register for the class. A meeting with Fr. Jim must also be scheduled by contacting the office at 734-379-9248 at stmaryrockwood@sbcglobal.net
Godparents must be Catholics who have received the Sacraments of Reconciliation, Eucharist and Confirmation, are in good standing with the Catholic Church, in a valid Catholic Marriage and regularly attended Sunday and Holy Day Mass. Only one Godparent is required, however, you may have two if you desire (one of each gender). The Godparent(s) must complete the form below and return to the parish office at least 2 weeks prior to the scheduled baptism.
If your child is over 6 years of age you will need to schedule a meeting with Fr. Jim to discuss how best to prepare your child for baptism.
Baptism Class is usually the first Monday of each month at 6:00 p.m. in the John Vianney room of the Gathering Space. Please call the office to register and confirm the date of class.
