The Gift of Baptism (Catechism Series Part 22) - Auspice Maria Ep 52

Baptism is not a naming ceremony or a family tradition. It is the beginning of new life in Christ. Bishop James Ruggieri continues his walk through the Catechism of the Catholic Church by discussing baptism, exploring its effects, its necessity, and the profound responsibility it places on parents and godparents. He also explains emergency baptisms, infant baptisms and the importance of welcoming children into the faith. Bishop Ruggieri issues a simple challenge for every baptized Catholic to rediscover the gift they have received. Whether you are baptized, unbaptized, or considering whether or not to baptize your children, this episode has something for you.A full transcript can be found on our website at https://portlanddiocese.org/news/auspice-maria-ep-52
