Forming Families in Faith: Cultivating Catechesis in the Home (Essential Catechist's Bookshelf)

Learn how the family plays a key role in passing on Catholic teachings and practices and discover ways for sharing that faith at home. With the Churchs emphasis this Fall on family life, this book has come just at the right time. Forming Families in Faith is a treasure chest of resources for nurturing the qualities of courage and strength within a family through catechesis. Kathy Hendricks links the six formal tasks of catechesis promoting knowledge of the faith, liturgical education, moral formation, teaching to pray, education for community life and missionary initiation with six things the family can do to nurture its spirituality: telling stories, celebrating rituals and traditions, making loving choices, fostering prayer and spirituality, building healthy relationships and serving others.
