Each and every child is cherished and valued by God. As a parent, you are your child's first teacher of the faith and your children will learn by your words and your example. You and your family make up the "domestic church" where children first learn who God is and how to prayerfully seek Him in their lives.
As parents, You will know best how to introduce faith to y our child at home, but Catechesis of the Good Shepherd provides resources for parents to use at home and I am happy to provide these to you. These resources can help you find ways to encourage your children on their journey to finding a lasting relationship with God, our loving Father.
During Lent, The Catechesis Family will feature articles and information for parents wishing to add ideas and tools you can use in building your domestic church. This first week our focus will be prayer. Let's begin with what is most familiar, meal time prayer.
