First Steps in Your Journey of Faith and Parish Life: A Baby Journal from Baptism to First Reconciliation

This full-color, illustrated baby journal, designed especially for Catholic families at the birth or Baptism of a child, gathers photos and reflections from parents about the significant events and developments in the child s first seven years, from birth to Baptism to preparation for First Reconciliation. The focus is on the family s faith, the child s year-to-year spiritual growth, and the importance of parish life. Text offers questions prompting parents to record memories and also provides prayers for the child; quotes from Scripture, the Catechism, and the saints; and brief saint biographies of special interest to children and family life.
