Baptism by immersion or by sprinkling?
The day I started my second year at St-Raymond Elementary School in 1963, our lovely teacher, Mrs. Bérubé, walked through the rows and placed on the corner of our desks a strange little grey book with a rigid cover.
When she had finished distributing it, she spoke and reminded us that each of us had been baptized in the Roman Catholic faith and that we should, therefore, know this book by heart if we wanted to access the sacraments of forgiveness, of the Eucharist and later of Confirmation. The parish priest would be responsible for ensuring that this book entitled “The Little Catechism” of the Catholic faith was well understood and assimilated by each of the students. Otherwise, there was a risk of being refused or delayed access to the sacraments.
