SPONSORS

Each person seeking membership in the Catholic Church has an adult sponsor, who is a practicing Catholic, to share this journey.  There is always room for additional sponsors.  Sponsors attend and participate in the RCIA classes.  Please contact our Religious Education Office at 313-381-3000 for details.
