What is more important to us as catechetical leaders than finding effective ways to bring parents into the process and helping them succeed?
This process gives you everything you need for 11 parent gatherings, including a leader’s guide, outlines, participant handouts, and talking points. Gather parents while their children are in class, on special parent evenings, or as part of a PTA meeting.
The sessions correspond to the main topics in all major Catholic catechesis programs, drawn from the Catechism of the Catholic Church. They help parents understand what their children are learning, and coach them on how to discuss the topic with them.
Each parent can attend three of five “stops”:
- How to address the topic with children Pre-K through age 8
- How to address the topic with children ages 9-13
- How to address the topic with junior/senior high children
- General theological background
- Ideas for building households of faith (including seasonal connections)
Topics:
- How to Talk about God
- How to Live in the Love of the Trinity
- How to Meet & Walk with Jesus
- How to Love the Church
- How to Live within Catholic Morality
- How to Celebrate Liturgy & the Sacraments
- How to Build the Reign of God
- How to Love the Bible More
- How to Pray Well
- How to Live by Catholic Social Teachings
