Fr. Paul Turner, known for his friendly style and authoritative content, helps parents understand what they need to know about their child's Baptism. He invites them into the mystery of this first sacrament in the life of a Christian, explaining its theology, symbolism, and the ritual itself. He provides pastoral answers to many technical questions parents might have about such matters as when and where Baptism should take place, arrangements when a parent is not Catholic, and the requirements for godparents. He especially encourages parents to take the long view and understand their unique role in raising a disciple of Christ.
