Baptism and beyond: Preparing for Baptism and Nutturing Your Child's Spirituality: Parent Guide

Baptism and Beyond is a sacramental preparation resource for Catholic parishes.

The Baptism and Beyond Parent Guide helps parents to understand the sacrament of baptism and also develop skills to foster the spiritual development of their child in the years between baptism and first eucharist.

Part I examines the symbols and scriptures of baptism and complements Session I in the Leader Guide.

Part II provides easy-to-understand information about the stages of a child's faith development and simple activities to connect their home with the life of the larger church.

Parents are encouraged to use the Parent Guide as an interactive journal and memory book during the initial, formative years of their child's life.
