The celebration of infant Baptism stirs joy within a community and reminds those who have gathered that God has called each of us to be missionary disciples. Celebrating Baptism well has the potential to evangelize and transform a parish community so that their faith will be stirred, deepened, and renewed. This second edition provides pastoral guidance for preparing joyful and communal celebrations of infant Baptism within or outside Mass according to the newly translated Order of Baptism of Children. It provides guidance for selecting Scripture readings, prayer texts, and music; arranging the environment; scheduling ministers; and preparing liturgies that engage and evangelize.

As part of the Preparing Parish Worship™ series, this book includes:

  • Theological reflections on the meaning of Baptism
  • A historical overview of the development of the baptismal rites for children
  • A walk-through of the newly translated Order of Baptism of Children
  • Answers to frequently asked questions with responses to difficult pastoral situations
  • Assistance with best liturgical practices
  • Inspirational and informative quotations from Scripture and Church documents

"Guide for Celebrating Infant Baptism offers wise and careful guidance through the recently-updated ritual book. Exhaustive without being exhausting, the Guide takes into account parishes of all sizes and circumstances, and baptismal preparation teams ranging from one deacon couple to a large, multi-ministry team. Priests, deacons, parish support staff, and families bringing their children into the Church will welcome this guide as the ideal way to help everyone 'prepare the rites well, and celebrate them joyfully.'"
—Tish Thornton,
Director, Office of Worship
Roman Catholic Diocese of Boise

 

“I love this book! It is an absolute ‘must have’ book for all pastoral ministers engaged in the Baptism of infants and children. Don't just put it on the shelf. Read it. Study it. Mark it up. There is a wealth of information contained in this book that will help all of us assess how we celebrate this joyous gateway sacrament. . . . Solid information is presented with a pastoral approach—this book clearly is the result of the authors' great expertise in liturgy wedded to their experience of working with parents and parish communities preparing for Baptism.
—Rev. Steven M. Lanza
Pastor, Sacred Heart Parish
