The Belonging: Baptism in the Family of God Parents Guide features thought-provoking discussion questions, engaging content, and a gorgeous layout, painting a picture for parents of how their child’s heart, soul, and life will be transformed by their baptism into the Catholic Church.
The Parent’s Guide is structured into 4 parts:
- Part 1: The Meaning of Baptism - Here, parents will discover a clear and compelling answer to the most fundamental question they are asking, “Why am I having my child Baptized?”
- Part 2: The Rite of Baptism - In this section, parents are given the details of the Baptism rite (the symbols, the materials used, the parts of the rite) so they can approach the sacrament confidently.
- Part 3: The Role of Parents and Godparents - What are you promising as the parent of the child being baptized? What obligations are you taking on when you agree to be a child’s godparent? All these questions and more are addressed in this section.
- Part 4: Raising a Young Catholic - Where do you go from here? Now that your child has been baptized in the Catholic Church, and you have promised to raise them in the Faith, how do you go about that? This section provides practical advice and guidance on how to create a Catholic culture in your home.

I really enjoyed Fr. Mike's energy and passion. It helped helped keep my wife and I engaged.
This has been a well learned opportunity for my daughter's baptism prep
I loved this course and the review. It was very well done! Father Mike Schmitz, of course, made it fun and just heartwarming! Thank you, Ascension for all you are doing for our catholic community....
This course was beautifully made, easy to use, and covered essential concepts with depth and clarity. We have nine kids and have been through a lot of baptism prep classes, but this was probably the most convenient to use for our busy schedules as while also being the most solid theologically. Keep up the good work!
I was pleasantly surprised by the Belonging: Baptism in the Family of God Certification Course. The course is easy to understand, and the high-quality sound and video make the experience very engaging. The content is clear, well-structured, and genuinely enriching. I’m very happy and feel honored to have the opportunity to learn more about baptism. Excellent work, kudos to the team!
