Godfather: This was an easy experience and very helpful
Godmother: I thought it was great! I loved being able to see all the videos and the hands-on of our mentor.
Both Godparents: We are so excited to share this with our new godson. We feel very prepared.
We can make sure we are taking the right paths to help our godson learn and prepare to his love for Jesus Christ
What we preferred was understanding more on the sacrament of the baptism and making sure we can teach our godson the joys of God and the positive things God can help us and accomplish
I am very pleased and thankful for this course and our instructor
Guevara-Gonzalez FAMILY
Father: I am very pleased and thankful for this course and our instructor making it very easy for us to complete this course even with a busy schedule.
Mother: We are very grateful for this course and appreciate the effort our instructor put into making it accessible and manageable. The course was well organized and flexible, which made it possible for us to complete it despite our busy schedules.
Thank you for providing such a positive and supportive learning experience.
Both: Our plan is to make our faith a regular part of our family life by actively participating in the parish community. We intend to attend Mass consistently, spend time in prayer as a family, and continue learning more about our faith through Scripture and other spiritual resources.
Godfather: It allowed me to explore the deeper meaning behind how I want to serve as a good example to my future Godchild.
Both Godparents: It is important to understand how important baptism is in beginning someone’s new life through Christ.
By understanding how Baptism is the beginning of a lifelong journey in one’s relationship with Christ, one can view our Catholic faith through an even more appreciative lens!
Great course, it really opened my eyes
ASPRIL FAMILY
Father: It’s a hectic but beautiful time in our lives raising our 6-month-old son, and the rare time I get with my wife 1 on 1 is special. Getting to do this with her was something I won’t forget, and I felt God in our presence. I found this preparation to be extremely valuable and meaningful. During these exercises we were able to cherish this monumental and blessed moment in our son’s life and learn new things together. This course was a wonderful mix of history, Biblical references, self-reflection, and advice on parenting as part of the Catholic Faith. It made me proud to be Catholic and was a special reminder about life’s purpose.
Mother: This prep course exceeded my expectations, and we learned a lot during the 3 core exercises. It’s nice to have been able to complete these questionnaires at our own pace. I am grateful we will be able to hold onto these documents for future reference, which otherwise would not have been possible during expiring Zoom calls or meetings. The course challenged us and made us consider how we will serve as great examples for Hayes.
As a Godmother of 3 boys, I was reminded what a privilege it is and how I can further serve them as they continue to grow.
Both: Overall we would describe the experience as comforting and inspiring. For all our lives it has been up to us to demonstrate being Catholics for God, Jesus, for ourselves, and loved ones before us. Now, we take on a unique role and exciting responsibility in the future to consider how we will celebrate, encourage, and teach our son during his own journey. Throughout the preparation we felt extremely blessed.
The course was very informative and gave me a better understanding of the meaning of Baptism
