Faith in the family

The Church recognizes that the primary teachers of faith are a child's parents.  Children believe and live what they hear and see from their parents and they are most absorbent in those years before school and religious education even begin.  

If you want your faith to be a part of your child's life, it is important that they see and hear you pray and live out your faith.

Don't know where to begin?  Don't worry--it is never too late to start.  Here are some ideas that could jump start your family's relationship with God:

• Pray the Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be every day before bed.
• Say Grace before meals.
• Pray the rosary together.
• Go to Mass each week--even finding Mass when you are on vacation.
• Incorporate the traditions of the faith in your home.  Celebrate feast days with time together and good food.
• Tell stories about the Saints.

Most importantly, though, your family should be a community of love.  

It is thus in the love between husband and wife and between the members of the family-a love lived out in all its extraordinary richness of values and demands: totality, oneness, fidelity and fruitfulness that the Christian family's participation in the prophetic, priestly and kingly mission of Jesus Christ and of His Church finds expression and realization. Therefore, love and life constitute the nucleus of the saving mission of the Christian family in the Church and for the Church. (Familiaris Consortio paragraph 50)
