We are called, as parents, to be the primary educators of our children:

“Family catechesis precedes, accompanies, and enriches other forms of instruction in the faith.  Parents have the mission of teaching their children to pray and to discover their vocation as children of God.”  (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2226)

We do not endorse a model of Religious Education that relies solely on catechists or clergy to form our children’s faith, rather, we favor this cooperative model: 

• Fr. Carucci presents a teaching once per month (usually the first Sunday of the month) in the parish hall, to parents, who then engage in discussion and activities to deepen their understanding while volunteers engage the children at "Pray and Play" in the Religious Education Building.  
• Each week parents sign up and work together with other parents to present the lessons and activities in the Parent's Guide and Children's Activity Books  at Family of Faith sessions.  
• Families using A Family of Faith attend Mass regularly, learn and practice prayers together, and engage in spiritual conversations at home, in the car, etc. helping them to grow in holiness.
