Growing in Faith Together

Parents are the primary educators of their children. "Education in the faith by the parents should begin in the child's earliest years.  Family catechesis precedes, accompanies, and enriches other forms of instruction in the faith. Parents have the mission of teaching their children to pray and to discover their vocation as children of God. The parish is the Eucharistic community and the heart of the liturgical life of Christian families; it is a privileged place for the catechesis of children and parents." Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2226

To view catechetical resources from the Diocese of Arlington, please visit the Diocese of Arlington’s website.
