The Baptism Preparation Seminar is held on the Second  Friday of every month from  8:30 am until 10:00 am in the Mini Hall. Parents and Godparents (one pair - one Godmother; one Godfather) must attend the seminar before requesting Baptism of their child.  Godparents MUST BE CATHOLICS ( Canon Law : 874.3). No documents are required at the time of the baptism seminar. Prior registration can be done online at the bottom of this page.

Note: Parents / Godparents are requested to register their names online, if not registered as parishioners (www.saintmarysdubai.org/register) before proceeding to register their names for the Baptism Seminar. Head of the family member has to register his name first as primary contact person. After the registration, the primary contact person will get a Parish I.D number. Rest of the family members have to be registered under the ID number of the primary contact person and so with one parish i.d, the entire details of family members are recorded in our parishioner profile, then proceed to baptism seminar registration.
