Your goal as a Christian parent:

For your child to know and love Jesus.

How do you help your children become Catholic disciples of Jesus? How do you even begin, and how do you know if you’re “doing it right”? No one has all the answers and there is no one right way, but we can discover guidance and insight from prayer and from other parents. In Guide Your Kids, find tips, encouragement, and practical ideas from real, imperfect Christian parents.

Be a witness.

Let God guide you as you guide them.

Create a firm foundation for your family life by strengthening your own practice of discipleship. Cultivate strong relationships with your kids and share with them your loving witness in word, prayer, and action.
