Why You Should Never Delay Baptism

If you are a Catholic parent, grandparent, or godparent, treating a child's baptism as a casual family event to be scheduled around convenience is a critical mistake. In this homily, we explore Saint Paul's teaching on why infant baptism is the absolute gateway to the life of the spirit and eternal salvation. Through a heartbreaking but powerful real-life story, we look at why the urgency to care for your child's soul must be greater than the urgency to care for their physical health. Stop waiting for the perfect time, and learn why leading your children to heaven is the most important obligation you have.
