Baptism

Congratulations!

Thank you for your interest in the Baptismal process in our NE Seattle Catholic Community! Welcoming a child into the family of God is an exciting time, and we look forward to supporting you in making this your family's parish community.

For planning purposes, the current baptism schedule for each of the four parishes in our NE Seattle Catholic Community through June 2025 is below. Please register using the link below.
 
Baptisms occur during Sunday Masses on the designated dates, which are rotated monthly (see chart). Parents take an online self-paced course followed by an in-person class offered quarterly. Godparents are also invited to attend.
 
We greatly appreciate your patience as this combined approach and program start.
 
Preparing for Infant Baptism
Please review the following as you prepare for your child's baptism. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Anakaren.

1. Parish Registration: If you are not currently registered in the parish, we ask that you do so. This will enable us to invite you to participate fully in the life of our parish. You can register here.
2. Baptism Preparation Class: Parents and Godparents must attend a preparation class that provides an overview of the sacrament of Baptism and allows parents to discuss thoughts on nurturing faith within their family. Directions for this class will be sent separately. This class is waived if taken within the past 3 years.
3. Godparents are asked to complete the Godparent Statement and participate in the online course or attend a Baptism preparation class at their home parish.
4. Birth Certificate: Please email a copy of your child’s birth certificate to Anakaren.
5. Scheduling the Baptism: Please see the chart below to request your first or second choice of dates. Your baptism date will be confirmed after all documents have been received and the Baptism preparation class has been completed. Please wait to make family arrangements until your date has been confirmed.REGISTER HERE
