Baptism is one of the greatest gifts that Christ has given us, and one of the greatest gifts that parents can give to their children.
Baptism is the first step leading to full incorporation with Christ and His Church. Thus, we cannot celebrate baptism indiscriminately. Parents accept a great deal of responsibility in presenting a child for baptism. They will be the child’s first teachers in the faith. The child has the right to seek from them the best example.
With all this in mind, we ask parents to prepare themselves seriously for this privilege. Specifically, they do this by participating in a process aimed at preparing them for the baptism of their child.
