The rite of Catholic baptism is the first of the three sacraments of Christian initiation, with the Eucharist communion and confirmation. For people of the age of reason children and adults, it is preceded by a period of preparation, called catechumenate, during which the baptized future, the catechumen, discovers the faith for which he asks for baptism. For newborns, parents follow a preparation for baptism that helps them understand the meaning of this sacrament.
