Children and Christian Initiation Parent/Sponsor Guide

Catholic Program

Children and Christian Initiation is a resource for Catholic parishes. This easy-to-use resource gives parents and sponsors the confidence to accompany children to full sacramental initiation. It helps them prepare children to receive the sacraments of baptism, confirmation and eucharist by providing an overview of children’s spirituality, the vision of the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults and the four periods of the initiation process, practical ways to prepare for the rites and reflect on them afterwards, experiential activities that link scripture with daily life and simple ways to continue the process at home.
