The research on teens and faith cannot be clearer: parents matter . . . a lot!

Listen and share with other parent’s and parish leaders your hopes, needs and concerns concerning the faith formation of your children/teens and how the parish/school can support you in these efforts.
 
Examine and assess your own“family faith inventory” and discern steps for growing in faith as a family in the coming year.
 
Discover some practical ideas, strategies and resources for family faith growth.
