Handouts in Spanish • Leader Guide in English
Twelve parent handouts based on Chapter 4 of The Joy of Love and 1 Corinthians 13
Your price includes a license to reproduce or share these downloadable handouts with anyone in your parish or school community.
This helpful and flexible resource can be sent home with parents or used as the basis for faith-sharing. Sr. Patricia McCormack uses her extensive expertise on parenting issues—and her down-to-earth style—to make connections between Pope Francis apostolic exhortation on family life and the day-to-day realities of parenting.
Each one-page handout includes a reflection on The Joy of Love, a set of bulleted “Parent Ponder Points,” and three reflection questions. A simple leader guide is also included. All files are provided in PDF format.
Gather your parents while their children are in their religious education classes, schedule “Parents' Nights,” or add a short discussion to the end of PTA meetings. Or send them home for parents to reflect on their own.
