O
I Belong to the Catholic Church
The Catholic Church is a community of people who follow Jesus Christ.
Jesus is God's Son, who became one of us to show us God’s love.
Jesus is the Christ, the Messiah for whom the people of Israel waited.
We become members of our Church by receiving three Sacraments of
Initiation. These sacraments are Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist.
We receive grace in these sacraments. Grace means gift. We receive the
gift of sharing God’s life and love in these sacraments.
Baptism 5"‘-'\
At Baptism parents ask members
of the Church to welcome their a
child. They want their child to .5 3*‘
grow up as a follower of Jesus.
A priest or deacon pours water ,
over the baby's head and says, V 3.
“T, I baptize you in 3- ‘
the name of the Father, and of
the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.”
Parents promise to teach their
children all that Christians
believe. In Baptism we become
children of God. We share the
life of God: Father, Son, and X‘
HOIY Spirit. “‘"" Find the $;::Li:'i1tf1ht:l;ersticker.
