Welcome to the sacramental preparation programme ‘Baptised into the Family of God’ produced by the Catholic Diocese of Hamilton. This programme features a series of short educational videos that are designed to kick off a deeper discussion on Baptism.
Baptism in the Life of Jesus Christ
For us as Christians, Jesus is the Way the Truth and the Life, and also the best place to start preparation for baptism! The intention of this episode is to convey that we are brought into the family of God through Jesus, by way of Baptism.
What is Baptism?
Baptism is not an empty ritual, rather, it is the beginning of a new life. Watch this episode to understand more about what baptism is, what it means, and who can be baptised.
The responsibility of parents
What is a parent’s responsibility in bringing their child for baptism? This is an important question that parents preparing to have their child baptised must know how to answer. Baptism marks the beginning of a life-long journey for a child.
The role of Godparents
Not only are Godparents an important part of the baptismal ceremony, they are an important part of the faith journey of the child being baptised. A Godparent must know Jesus Christ.
Episodes 5 to 8 Coming soon…
The next series of episodes will feature the Signs and Symbols, The Rite of Baptism, and a perspective on Baptism from parents. Coming soon in 2021.
