When children are baptised, parents vow to bring their child up as a Catholic as part of the sacrament. Parents also vow to provide them with a home of love and faithfulness.
For parents to bring their child up as Catholics, they are likely to:
- teach their children prayers
- take their children to church (Sunday school/children's liturgy)
- send their children to Catholic schools where the National Curriculum and RE are taught in a Christian environment
- encourage their children to carry out follow-on sacraments e.g. first holy communion, confirmation
A Catholic religious upbringing and seeing so many people praying and believing in God helps the child to realise that God must exist. All the teachings of the overall faith help to broaden the child's understanding and belief in Christianity.
