Nurturing Your Child’s Relationship with God after Baptism

In brief

Karin Middleton, the assistant director of family ministry for the Archdiocese of Denver, wrote that parents have a responsibility to share God's love and truth at home and in the world following a child's baptism.

Middleton noted that baptism begins a child's relationship with the Father, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and the Church. She cited biblical passages from Deuteronomy and Matthew to explain that God charges parents with communicating these truths and that Jesus invites parents to bring children to him.
