Talk 1: The Family as the Domestic Church

The Fathers of the Church and the Second Vatican Council teach that the family is the domestic Church.  If we understand what the Church really is, the implications are enormous.  This talk lays out the vision of what the Catholic family is called to be in a way both challenging and inspiring.

Talk 2: The Art of Catholic Parenting: A Balancing Act

So practically, how do we make it happen?  How do we raise kids who are truly Catholic, with a commitment to holiness and mission?  This talk abounds with nitty gritty suggestions on how to strike the balance between formal religious education in the home, and teaching by example, between affection and discipline, the role of parents and the help of other adults.  You’ll walk away with clear strategies that you can implement in your own family life.
