Baptism

Infant Information

Infant information as it is recorded on their birth certificate please.

Parent Information

In the Catholic tradition, we celebrate the sacraments within the community of a local parish. The Sacrament of Baptism recognizes a commitment on the part of the parents and godparents to raise the baptized child in the Catholic faith. We therefore require that you have been active members of St. Ignatius or another Catholic parish for at least 6 months before registering your child for baptism. As you prepare to baptize your child at St. Ignatius, we invite you to register at the parish if you are not yet part of a particular parish community. The registration form helps us develop a relationship with the many individuals and families that call St. Ignatius their spiritual home. In addition to the sacraments, St. Ignatius seeks to be a source of stability throughout a person’s life of faith and provide pastoral care when requested. As you register, you will also have an opportunity to reflect on how you would like to contribute to the parish community through your regular worship, participation in a ministry, and financial support. If you would like to register at St. Ignatius, there is a link on our opening page at www.sipdx.org, forms in the back of the church, in the parish office, or the parish can mail you an informational packet.

We recognize that there are circumstances when families are registered at another parish but they would still like to have their child baptized at St. Ignatius. If this is the case for your family, please provide the contact information of the parish where you are currently registered:

If registered at another Parish, please send a letter of permission from your Pastor to our parish office via email or mail, and include date of registration.
