“On the lips of the catechist the first proclamation must ring out over and over: "Jesus Christ loves you; he gave his life to save you; and now he is living at your side every day to enlighten, strengthen and free you… nothing is more solid, profound, secure, meaningful and wisdom-filled than that initial proclamation."

Pope Francis, Evangelii Gaudium

Come learn some strategies for encouraging your parents to grow in faith and disciple their children. Whether you are a faith formation leader who is full time, part-time or even volunteer, there will be something you can use with your families.
