Baptism
For Catholics, the Sacrament of Baptism is the first step in a lifelong journey of commitment and discipleship. Whether we are baptized as infants or adults, Baptism is the Church’s way of celebrating and enacting the embrace of God.
***** Baptism Information *****
Infant Baptisms are offered the third Saturday of each month (except during Lent).
Please register your child for Baptism by calling the Parish Office during business hours. 734-464-4433 If this is your FIRST CHILD being baptized, parents must attended a two hour workshop which can be scheduled by contacting Fr. Gary Michalik. Classes MUST be attended at least THREE MONTHS before baptism. Due to our current pandemic crisis classes are scheduled on an individual basis occurring here at St. Colette, preferably in the evening. To schedule a class please contact Fr. Gary Michalik at 734-464-4433 or by email at "parishoffice@stcolette.net" First Reconciliation/Confession
The Catholic Sacrament of Reconciliation (also known as Penance) has three elements: conversion, confession and celebration. In it we find God’s unconditional mercy and forgiveness; as a result we are called to forgive others
***** First Reconciliation/Confession Information *****
Children going into their 4th grade year or older are at an age they can prepare to receive their First Reconciliation. Preparation for the sacrament begins in the Fall with the reception of the sacrament in late January. Due to our current pandemic crisis, while we will offer something for those families interested, we are not at this time prepared to say what it entails.

First Communion
Communion is considered one of the holiest and most important occasions in a Roman Catholic person's life. It is the first time that a person receives the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist, which is the consuming of the consecrated bread and the consecrated wine. Catholics believe these to be truly the body and blood of Jesus Christ. Children eight years and older are invited to prepare for this sacrament.

Preparation for the sacrament begins in the Fall with the reception of the sacrament in late April.
