Family Catechesis
-
Evangelize your parish by catechizing the family!
Family catechesis has proven to be a powerful experience for thousands of families within the Archdiocese and across the nation. What is family Catechesis?
"Family-centered catechetical programs are opportunities for parents to catechize their children directly, for spouses to catechize each other and for children to catechize one another and their parents” (National Directory for Catechesis #61.2).
Children and teens need to become lifelong Catholics and members of the church which starts by involving the whole family in the life of the church.
