The Sacrament of 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 for Infants
For an overview of our baptism rite, please read the following summary.
Baptism Information
If you would like to have your child baptized, please contact Zoltan Abraham at 425.391.1178, ext. 117 or adulted@mqp.org.
The baptism preparation process has four steps:
-
Schedule an interview with Zoltan Abraham. Interviews are held at the Parish Office.
Directions to Parish Office: If you are looking at the church building
from the main parking lot, enter through the right-hand-side bell tower
doors. The Parish Office will be immediately to your right.
-
Attend the Baptism Class, held once a month on Sundays. Please
see the baptism class schedule below
Directions to Fr. McGivney Room:
If you are looking at the church
building from the main parking lot, enter through the right-hand-side
bell tower doors. Go downstairs, taking the stairs immediately to your
right. Follow to the corridor to the faux stain glass window. The Fr.
McGivney Room is to the left of the stain glass window.
-
Turn in necessary documents:
-
Interview Intake Form
-
Baptism Information Sheet
-
A photocopy of the birth certificate of your child
Please note: We will not be able
to perform the baptism until the birth certificate is turned in.
-
If both sponsors (godparents) are from outside of the
parish, we need a letter of good standing from the home
parish of at least one of the sponsors
Click here for a sample form
Other parishes might have a different form or might
simply write a letter
All documents should be turned in no latter than two weeks before the scheduled date of baptism.
-
Schedule date of baptism
Baptisms are celebrated one weekend each month at all Masses.
The date
of baptism will be scheduled after the completion of the interview and
the Baptism Class.
