Baptism – A practical guide for parents and godparents is part of the Becoming Catholic series. Books in this series are designed to support parents, together with godparents and educators, in preparing children to receive the sacraments.
Our faith journey begins with Baptism, which relies on parents and chosen godparents – the first teachers of the ways of faith – to initiate the child into the Church community. This book offers a simple explanation of the various stages of the celebration of Baptism and the rich symbolism of this ancient initiation ritual. Most importantly, it explains in simple terms the role of parents and godparents so that they can participate meaningfully in the ceremony.
Author Geoffrey Plant has been a priest and parish priest for fifty years and has baptised many babies over that time. His experience has culminated in compiling all the essential information in Baptism – A practical guide for parents and godparents with the aim to support parents and godparents when preparing to present a child for the sacrament of Baptism.
Geoffrey Plant is a Catholic priest within the Archdiocese of Sydney. Ordained in 1972, Geoffrey’s ministry has been in education at secondary and tertiary levels, but parish work is his first love. He studied theology at the Yarra Theological Union in Melbourne and at Sydney University.
