Tyriq Davis, a recent alumnus of Central Michigan University, first connected with St. Mary University Parish through his girlfriend—and this year, he took a life-changing step in faith as he was welcomed into the Catholic Church!
During the Easter Vigil, Tyriq was Baptized, Confirmed, and received his First Communion. Though he admits he felt nervous, he was deeply encouraged by the love and support surrounding him. “Having the university parish community made a huge difference,” Tyriq shared. “It’s so much easier to take that step when you have a strong group of people supporting you and making you feel at home on campus.”
Welcome home to the Catholic Church, Tyriq—we’re so glad you’re part of our community!
