Discussion questions for you & your child
After the first half (around the 12:00 minute mark), take a minute to chat together:
- What did Brother Francis say the sacrament of Baptism does? (Answer: makes us squeaky clean, washes away our sin, makes us a part of a big family)
- How does Jesus make us part of his family? (Answer: he invites us into the family of God & special graces)
- Who is in God’s family?
At the end of the video:- When Jesus spoke to His disciples, what did he tell them to do? (Answer: Baptize in the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit)
- What happened at your Baptism? Parents, what do you remember about the day of your child's Baptism?
- Who are your Godparents?
- Do you have your Baptism candle?
