A Family of Faith helps to develop strong Catholic families. With this program, children learn the joys of following Jesus Christ and the truths of our Faith through the witness of Christian life given by their parents. Studies tell us that parental involvement in the faith-life of their child is by far the most important element in ensuring that a child develops into a practicing Christian.
