The Catholic Enquiry Centre has developed two new brochures, The Sacrament of Baptism - A General Guide and The Sacrament of Marriage – A General Guide. 

Baptisms and weddings are two occasions when people who have no formal connection with the Catholic Church intersect with the Church, and they are important evangelising opportunities. The brochures simply explain what will happen during the ceremony, and give the Catholic Enquiry Centre as a point of reference in case they’d like to find out more in future. 

The Catholic Enquiry Centre is the national faith promotion outreach office of the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference. Our aim is to provide information for those who are enquiring about the Catholic faith, and then to connect them with a local parish community upon their request.

The Catholic Enquiry Centre is pleased to offer these brochures to parishes to complement the About the Catholic Faith which is a general introduction to the beliefs of the Catholic faith. Distributing copies during baptisms and weddings might encourage people who have no ongoing connection with the Catholic community to want to find out more. Anyone who enquires will then be linked back into their local parish community.

It is anticipated that in due course brochures will be developed for the other sacraments.

Copies can be purchased from the Catholic Enquiry Centre. Our pricing is as follows:
