The Baptism of a child is the start of an awesome, but joyful, task for his or her parents and godparents: to bring that child up in the Catholic Faith. The Baptism Box is designed as a gift to parents from the parish, and contains resources to help the whole family to cherish the child’s baptism, form habits of prayer and Catholic practice as a family, and to always remember that every baptised person is a beloved child of God.

With space to write down the important details of your child’s baptism on the outside of the box, it also serves as a safe place to keep your child’s baptism certificate.

The Baptism Box includes:

• A Baptism Candle
• A Holy Water Bottle – to be filled with water from the font at the time of your child’s baptism, and a sticker to decorate the bottle with
• My Baptism Book – a children’s book
• Three Family Prayer Cards featuring six different prayers with captivating illustrations
• Taking Children to Mass –  a leaflet every parent needs for the daunting task of bringing children to Mass
• Being a Godparent – a leaflet offering helpful guidance to every godparent
