Concerned about My Unbaptized Cousin

[YEARNING4TRUTH]

Hello, I just wanted to ask for some advice on how to approach and hopefully solve this certain situation that we’re facing with my cousin. So here’s my problem. My aunt and uncle didn’t get him baptized while he was still young, and now that he’s eighteen, I honestly don’t know how to help him out and where to start. Any ideas on what I can do to help?

I cannot offer advice for this situation but I will pray for you and him. My only recommendation is to pray the Novena to Our Lady Undoer of Knots.

He’s 18. He’s an adult. It’s up to him. You could ask if he would like to be baptized, and if he does, offer to help him arrange it.

Has he asked you for your help and advice? If he has, then have him contact the nearest Catholic parish and sign up with the RCIA program. If he has not, then don’t bring it up until he starts the conversation. And of course: Pray, pray, pray.

is he open to it? you could invite him to some church events with you maybe? ask hom what he thinks about the whole thing? like other have said, he’s an adult and therefore has to choose it for himself
