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 – an illustrated children’s book on Baptism
- My Little Missal – a step-by-step illustrated guide to Mass for children
- 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
