Sacraments of Initiation - Important Announcement
Dear Fathers,
At this time of year, many of our parishes are resuming sacramental preparation programs. Following inquiries from many Pastors, I would like to provide clarification regarding the Sacraments of Initiation as they relate to children.
“Parents are obliged to take care that infants are baptized in the first few weeks; as soon as possible after the birth or even before it, they are to go to the pastor to request the sacrament for their child and to be prepared properly for it” (CCL 867.1).
Though it is common for parents to wait several months or even a few years to baptize their child, baptism is properly administered in infancy. Parents should not defer the baptism for the sake of combining this sacrament with other sacraments.
The Rite of Christian Initiation of Children should be used only for children who are converting to the Faith, either with their family or on their own accord. RCIC is not for unbaptized children raised in a Catholic family. Only if a child is converting from a non-Catholic family, in that case—and in that case only—children of catechetical age “are to receive Baptism, Confirmation, and the Eucharist in a single celebration,” usually at the Easter Vigil (National Statutes for the Catechumenate, 14).
Children who are from a Catholic family and who are not converting to the Faith may be baptized at any time. They should only make their First Communion once they have reached the age of reason, and have previously made their First Reconciliation, following the normal parish sacramental preparation programs in place for children.
The Sacrament of Confirmation may be received by:
(a) high-school aged teenagers who have already been baptized and have completed the standard two-year course of preparation,
(b) baptized Catholic adults who have completed Adult Confirmation classes,
(c) Adult converts who have completed RCIA and are being fully initiated.
(d) Children who are converting to the Catholic faith from non-Catholic families, who have completed a full RCIC program and are being initiated into the faith at the Easter Vigil.
I have heard from Pastors that in some of our communities, Catholic parents are intentionally delaying Baptism and First Communion for their children, enrolling them in an eight month RCIA program, and having them receive Baptism, First Communion and Confirmation at the Easter Vigil, all in an attempt “to get it over with” in the shortest amount of time, with the most minimal religious education required. This is not good for the child, the family, or the life of the parish community.
Children from Catholic families should be respected and given the full course of religious education for their First Confession, First Communion and, later as teens, their Confirmation.
I ask you to please communicate this to your religious education staff, and publish it widely in your bulletins and parish websites.
We owe it to our children to give them the best religious education possible to appreciate and receive these important rites of our faith.
[..]
Yours sincerely in Christ,
The Most Reverend Michael C. Barber, S.J.
Bishop of Oakland

COMPENDIUM
OF THE CATECHISM
431. What purpose do the precepts of the Church have?
2041 / 2048
The five precepts of the Church are meant to guarantee for the faithful the indispensable minimum in the spirit of prayer, the sacramental life, moral commitment and growth in love of God and neighbor.
432. What are the precepts of the Church?
2042-2043
They are:
1) to attend Mass on Sundays and other holy days of obligation and to refrain from work and activities which could impede the sanctification of those days;
2) to confess one's sins, receiving the sacrament of Reconciliation at least once each year;
3) to receive the sacrament of the Eucharist at least during the Easter season;
4) to abstain from eating meat and to observe the days of fasting established by the Church; and
5) to help to provide for the material needs of the Church, each according to his own ability.

CANON LAW
CHAPTER IV. SPONSORS
872
Insofar as possible, a person to be baptized is to be given a sponsor who assists an adult in Christian initiation or together with the parents presents an infant for baptism. A sponsor also helps the baptized person to lead a Christian life in keeping with baptism and to fulfill faithfully the obligations inherent in it.
873
There is to be only one male sponsor or one female sponsor or one of each.
874
§1.
To be permitted to take on the function of sponsor a person must:
1/ be designated by the one to be baptized, by the parents or the person who takes their place, or in their absence by the pastor or minister and have the aptitude and intention of fulfilling this function;
2/ have completed the sixteenth year of age, unless the diocesan bishop has established another age, or the pastor or minister has granted an exception for a just cause;
3/ be a Catholic who has been confirmed and has already received the most holy sacrament of the Eucharist and who leads a life of faith in keeping with the function to be taken on;
4/ not be bound by any canonical penalty legitimately imposed or declared;
5/ not be the father or mother of the one to be baptized.
§2.
A baptized person who belongs to a non-Catholic ecclesial community is not to participate except together with a Catholic sponsor and then only as a witness of the baptism.

CÓDIGO DE DERECHO CANÓNICO
CAPÍTULO IV. DE LOS PADRINOS
872
En la medida de lo posible, a quien va a recibir el bautismo se le ha de dar un padrino, cuya función es asistir en su iniciación cristiana al adulto que se bautiza, y, juntamente con los padres, presentar al niño que va a recibir el bautismo y procurar que después lleve una vida cristiana congruente con el bautismo y cumpla fielmente las obligaciones inherentes al mismo.
873
Téngase un solo padrino o una sola madrina, o uno y una.
874
§ 1.
Para que alguien sea admitido como padrino, es necesario que:
1/ haya sido elegido por quien va a bautizarse o por sus padres o por quienes ocupan su lugar o, faltando éstos, por el párroco o ministro; y que tenga capacidad para esta misión e intención de desempeñarla;
2/ haya cumplido dieciséis años, a no ser que el Obispo diocesano establezca otra edad, o que, por justa causa, el párroco o el ministro consideren admisible una excepción;
3/ sea católico, esté confirmado, haya recibido ya el santísimo sacramento de la Eucaristía y lleve, al mismo tiempo, una vida congruente con la fe y con la misión que va a asumir;
4/ no esté afectado por una pena canónica, legítimamente impuesta o declarada;
5/ no sea el padre o la madre de quien se ha de bautizar.
§ 2.
El bautizado que pertenece a una comunidad eclesial no católica sólo puede ser admitido junto con un padrino católico, y exclusivamente en calidad de testigo del bautismo.
