BAPTISM
Baptism is but the first step leading to full membership in the Church and the beginning of a life of faith. This faith is a 'seed' needing to be nurtured by the parents who are in the words of the Rite 'the first and best teachers in the ways of faith'. The pre-Baptism programme seeks to offer parents both the support of the community and an opportunity of reassessing their own faith and responsibilities to educate their children.
