Parishes & Parents: A partnership for passing on the faith
There was recent article in the Catholic Star Herald about how the family is the domestic church, a place of prayer, service and love. The Church has always considered the family as the first and strongest influence on their children's growth in faith.
A study entitled a "Report on American Catholic Religious Parenting" stated: "The crucial location where youth's religious outcomes are largely decided is not the congregation or the parish, but the home."

Here are a few suggestions for building and strengthening your "domestic church":
- Reclaim the idea of sabbath within the family, making Sunday a special day by participating in Mass together and then enjoying a special meal afterward.
- Integrate family life with the liturgical life of the Church, utilizing Advent and Lenten rituals around the dinner table. Have your children ever prayed the Stations of the Cross?
- Make having supper together a priority. Spend quality time each week together as a family.
- Pray together.
