THE CATECHISM OF THE
CATHOLIC CHURCH
HOW IS THE SACRAMENT OF BAPTISM
CELEBRATED?
FAITH AND BAPTISM
1253. Baptism is the sacrament of faith. But faith
needs the community of believers. It is only within
the faith of the Church that each of the faithful can
believe. The faith required for Baptism is not a
perfect and mature faith, but a beginning that is
called to develop. The catechumen or the godparent
is asked: “What do you ask of God’s Church?” The
response is: “Faith!”
1254. For all the baptized, children or adults,
faith must grow after Baptism. For this reason the
Church celebrates each year at the Easter Vigil the
renewal of baptismal promises. Preparation for
Baptism leads only to the threshold of new life.
Baptism is the source of that new life in Christ from
which the entire Christian life springs forth.
1255. For the grace of Baptism to unfold, the
parents’ help is important. So too is the role of the
godfather and godmother, who must be firm
believers, able and ready to help the newly
baptized—child or adult—on the road of Christian
life. Their task is a truly ecclesial function
(officium). The whole ecclesial community bears
some responsibility for the development and
safeguarding of the grace given at Baptism.
