Baptism
Infant baptisms are usually not celebrated in the Seattle University chapels. We encourage families to contact their local parish. As a university community, we are unable to pastorally support the faith life of a growing family. Infant baptisms and proximate preparation should be celebrated in the parish of the parents (Code of Canon Law, Canon 857.2)
