Catholic Sacramental Resources Called by God Reclaiming the meaning of baptism Margaret Jones & Ellen McBride

Called by God seeks to reclaim the real meaning of baptism as the beginning of a new life in Christ. With scripture readings and reflections, a detailed look at the elements of the rite of baptism, and discussions and advice on raising children to know the person of Christ, it aims to meet parents wherever they are in their own journey of faith.

This comprehensive resource contains all the materials needed to run the course and can be adapted to suit the needs of your parish.

As well as presenting you with the course material itself, our expert authors take you through the historical background and biblical and Church teachings on the sacrament of baptism, giving you the knowledge and confidence to support parents. On a practical note they give you guidance on how to organise the sessions, providing checklists to help you prepare for each one, and a download pack containing sheets for the parents and godparents attending. The parents’ booklet supplements the sessions and gives time for parents to reflect on the sessions.

The keepsake booklet gives time and space for parents/guardians to reflect on the sessions and will act as a reminder and keepsake of this time spent preparing for their child’s baptism.

Preparing for Marriage in the Catholic Church

Fr Tom Creagh Fuller & Lisette Blanchet Ball Redemptorist Publications has produced this comprehensive programme that has been successfully running in the Archdiocese of Southwark for many years. Preparing for Marriage is made up of two books: an A4 workbook for couples (two per couple) which is full of information and exercises on everything from conflict to family of origin and sexual love to sacrament and vocation; the book for catechists has advice on how to deliver the material, suggested frameworks for running your own programme and two DVDs that include videos that can be shown to couples for each topic – some are anecdotal from couples while others have more of a presentation style. Preparing for Marriage aims to help you with a ready-made, but easy to adapt and personalise, programme that will help you to prepare couples to live a healthy, happy, Catholic marriage.
