Baptism

Very young children are introduced to the meaning and importance of the Sacrament of Baptism through a lovely story of a family spiritual event in church.

Leo is being baptized today!

He is becoming a child of God.

His mom, his dad, his godfather, and his godmother are filled with joy.

The Baptism day is brought to life by Maïte Roche's engaging and beautiful illustrations.

Being a godparent is a big responsibility, and it's one we as Catholics should take very seriously. Yet maybe you don't know all that is expected of you as a godparent or how you should carry out those duties.

In Beyond the Baptism, Fr. Jeffrey Kirby provides practical guidance to godparents in a brief, approachable way. He walks you through the role of the godparent as a ministry of faith and accompaniment and helps you go deeper in your ongoing call to be a godparent.

Whether you are preparing to be a godparent for the first time or are already a godparent but aren't sure how to be present in the life of your godchild after the baptism ceremony, this book is for you.
