Children and Christian Initiation, contains everything you need to thoroughly explore the meaning of symbols and ritual gestures to prepare a child before the rites of Christian initiation and to reflect upon their meaning afterwards. A newly revised Leader Guide includes many practical suggestions to involve parents and sponsors in this important passage into the community of faith. A comprehensive Parent and Sponsor Guide explains all four periods of the cactechumenate and suggests activities to prepare a child for full sacramental initiation. Separate lively, colorful journals invite children and youth to record their thoughts and drawings as they participate in the process of initiation. The journals are available for children ages 7-10 and ages 11-14.
