LESSON 1 - FIRST COMMUNION LEARNING CENTER - BAPTISM

Talk about your child's Baptism using the following questions.  
 - When and where were you baptized?
 - Who was at my baptism?  Priest, family, friend, sponsors (Godparents)?

Explain the following items that were used at your child's Baptism:
Picture
Water - The water signifies the washing away of sin and celebrating a new life in Christ. 
Picture
Oil - The oil, which is put on the chest, is a symbol to give us strength. 
Picture
Oil of Chrism (also used at Confirmation) - The oil is rubbed on the forehead signifying that we are sealed with the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
Picture
Baptismal Candle - The candle reminds us that the light of Christ has entered our lives and the flame symbolizes the flame of faith which should burn throughout our lives. 
Picture
White Garment - The white garment signifies that the newly baptized child is pure like Christ.

Answer and discuss these questions with your child.

 - After Baptism, whose special family do I belong to? 
       God's Family
 - How do I continue to grow as a member of God’s family? 
       Follow the Ten Commandments, attend Mass, pray, etc.
