Catholic Baptism and Patron Saints

Roman Catholic Baptism is the entry way to the Catholic Faith. It is a rite of initiation, a new beginning. The better one prepares spiritually for receiving this sacrament the better chance he will have of having the great grace of Final Perseverance.

What Is Baptism?

Baptism is the sacrament which cleanses us from Original Sin, makes us Christians, children of God, and heirs of Heaven.

Catholic Baptism is the gateway to eternal happiness in Heaven. It gives the treasure beyond price of which Jesus Christ spoke in the Gospels.

Either the long wait for Momma's and baby's safe arrivals, or the sometimes equally long and hopeful study, necessary for the catechumen, are joyfully met in Baptism. In the case of Baptism Catholic families make sure that the ceremony is performed as soon as possible and leave the Baptism invitations, party, and Catholic Baptism gifts for later when Mom and baby are both more ready for the extra attention.

Older students and adults who are receiving the sacrament of Baptism have excellent aids to learning the true faith in St. Anne's Audio Baltimore Catechism (CDs or Downloads) for First Communion, Volume One and Catholic Confirmation, Volume Two. All of the usual questions are included in both the audio and text format on each - no need to buy an extra booklet! The First Communion preparation (CD or Download) covers the usual questions and answers for receiving the sacraments of Penance and Holy Eucharist. The Confirmation CD and Catechism Copybook include the minimum necessary knowledge questions and answers and can boost or replace any beginning study of the Catholic religion.

Baptism And Patron Saints Names

Parents can choose baby's name from the many saints' names available in the Catholic saints list in many books like Is it a Saint's Name? published by Tan Books.

There's many a Catholic company for Catholic Baptism gifts! Catholic book publishing companies and Catholic gift stores have many great books and ideas! Early in our marriage, we didn't realize that choosing patron saint's name from a Catholic liturgical calendar for a Catholic Baptism made the search easier. We hardly realized that there was such a thing! Now, we know of several good Catholic liturgical calendar sources. There are even great books on the subject of Catholic saints names and they also have lists of patron saints names. Some Catholic calendars have patron saints lists in them, too. Many parents name their children according to the saint of the day that they were born.

We had already known about choosing Catholic saints from a devotion to a favorite Catholic saint. This was the major factor in the choice of the names of our first four children. A great list, too, was our list of honorable relatives and friends if they had Catholic saints names, especially the probable Godparents. Using patron saints names for Baptismal names affords that saint's protection and this is why such names as Mary, Michael and John are such popular names, they are patrons of so many themes.

We soon ran out of our own favorite baby names! Thank God one of our best friends had given us the Is it a Saint's Name? booklet as one of our favorite Catholic Baptism gifts. It has very good advice about choosing names as well as the basic rite of the Catholic Baptism ceremony in an emergency and can be found at Tan Books. It also has a list of patron saints.

There's also an online Baby names list at this Catholic Saints Names Page for Babies at Aquinas and More Catholic Church Goods.

There's another baby name page here for extra ideas!

Ideas for Catholic Baptism Gifts

St. Anne's Helper Audio Baltimore Catechisms for First Communion and Confirmation make excellent Catholic Baptism gifts since they will teach the truths necessary to keep the Faith.

Adult converts are grateful to have an easy way to review the basic Catholic beliefs. Once they have already studied this material they can receive all three sacraments on the very same day, so one would want to give these CDs early since they help prepare for Baptism, too.

New babies, on the other hand, have all of their study ahead of them so these St. Anne's Helper Catholic audio books are a great gift from Grandparents and Godparents! They make it easy for the parents to teach the Faith when the time comes. There are many truths to learn about the Catholic religion that make going to Heaven easier so Godparents can give a sure opportunity for baby to learn the Faith when they give the family an audio catechism either at the Baptism or later when the child is ready to study.

Parents are thrilled to find such easy help with teaching the Faith as in this version of the Baltimore Catechism. They frequently learn or relearn right along with their children. We know many who did!
