The release of sacramental records is limited, and a Sacramental Record request form is required. This form is a crucial part of the process and must be submitted for any request.
Here is the policy of the Archdiocese of Detroit for access to sacramental records:
While every individual has a right to a certificate of his or her sacramental record, no one, except a parent or guardian asking for the record of a minor child, has the right to another person's record.
If someone has power of attorney for another adult, they may request a certificate but must show the parish personnel the power of attorney before the certificate is prepared.
The only other valid requests would be from another Catholic parish for sacramental reasons or from a Catholic tribunal for annulment reasons. No one else may receive a copy of sacramental certificate.
Call the parish office at (586) 777-9116 ext. 0 or email [email protected], if you have questions or need more information.
