Baptisms

The sacrament of Baptism, historically a Christian rite of initiation, is available at Memorial Church for children and adults twice per academic year during the Fall and Spring Quarters. It is offered during University Public Worship and is not a private ritual or ceremony. More than a momentary act in one’s life, Baptism is also considered a beginning to a lifelong spiritual pilgrimage.

Upcoming baptism dates:

  • November 30, 2025 (Fall Quarter)
  • The November 30, 2025 (Fall Quarter) baptism ceremony has been canceled.
  • May 24, 2026 (Spring Quarter)

Those interested in a Catholic Baptism in Memorial Church, should view information at the Catholic Community at Stanford website to fill out their form or contact a staff member.
