The Order of Baptism of Children (Participation Booklet) is designed to help families, godparents, and the congregation fully participate in and understand the celebration of the Sacrament of Baptism. This booklet includes the complete texts for both the Order of Baptism for Several Children and the Order of Baptism for One Child, making it suitable for parish celebrations of any size.
A special Letter to New Parents is included, thoughtfully walking families through each part of the rite so they know what to expect on the day of their child’s Baptism. The booklet also contains the full texts of Scripture readings that may be used during the celebration, along with a section titled Some Norms for Baptism, which explains important insights into this first and foundational sacrament.
Printed in two colors for clarity, with the people’s responses clearly indicated in boldface type, this participation booklet is easy to follow and pastorally helpful. Bound in a durable green flexible cover, it is well suited for repeated parish use during this important sacramental milestone.
