A Catechist Perspective
What does God look like? Why do we have to go to Mass? Why can’t I watch that movie? As a parent and PSR teacher, I have at times been stumped by questions kids have asked about God and our faith. Children come up with really interesting and important questions that provide great insights into their spiritual lives and deserve thoughtful and meaningful answers. The adults who know the children best — parents, grandparents, other family members, and close family friends — are in the best position to address their questions in a way that will increase their love and understanding of God. In company with other families, Family Faith Formation will help you build the tools and knowledge to deal with those challenging questions and will be a wonderful opportunity to learn how to encourage your children’s questions and help them (and you) grow spiritually.
