I am Catholic and was baptized as an infant. My parents took an oath to raise and teach me in a certain way (in the ways of their faith.. Catholicism). They are in charge of this until I am considered old enough to decide whether to continue on with my own beliefs or not. When I was 13, I went through the sacrament of Confirmation. This is when I made the choice to continue with the Catholic faith and took the vows on my own.
We baptized our son when he was 2 months old. It is a beautiful ritual, and it was our way of making a vow to raise our son with the teachings of our faith. |
