First Steps in Your Journey of Faith and Parish Life: A Baby Journal from Baptism to First Reconciliation

This full-color, illustrated baby journal, designed especially for Catholic families at the birth or Baptism of a child, gathers photos and reflections from parents about the significant events and developments in the child’s first seven years, from birth to Baptism to preparation for First Reconciliation. The focus is on the family’s faith, the child’s year-to-year spiritual growth, and the importance of parish life. Text offers questions prompting parents to record memories and also provides prayers for the child; quotes from Scripture, the Catechism, and the saints; and brief saint biographies of special interest to children and family life.
