Practical Tools for Raising Faithful Kids

Many parishes struggle to best equip and support parents, and people who serve in the role of parents, as they nurture children’s spiritual development and religious education. Research proves, over and over, that parents are the most important influence on a child’s faith. But it’s been a challenge for churches to easily equip parents to confidently take up this important and holy practice.

Practical Tools for Raising Faithful Kids bridges the gap between knowledge and practice in parents who want to influence their kids toward a deeper faith.
