Together at Baptism - Parent Baptism Prep
By Robert Hamma

Together at Baptism offers parish staff a practical, concise tool to help prepare parents and godparents for the baptism of a child. It offers both spiritual support and important information about the sacrament. The booklet contains twenty-six brief commentaries on the essential elements and liturgical texts of The Order of Baptism of Children. Parents will learn about their role as first witnesses to the faith, the essential support of godparents, the distinctively Catholic understanding of the sacrament, and the joys and challenges of lifelong commitment to the faith. The booklet also contains all the lectionary readings assigned for the celebration of baptism, the alternate prayer texts provided by The Order of Baptism of Children, and a selection sheet for parents invited to choose readings, prayers, and other texts for the liturgy.
