The first moment of conversion for any child begins in the Catholic environment established within the home. The principle aim of religious education is Heaven; that is to lead our children to Heaven. The family, especially parents, are the natural primary figures of religious instruction for their children in lieu of any external instruction offfered by the parish community. It is the Baptismal commitment of the parent/guardian to pass on the Deposit of Faith-teachings of Jesus Christ. The principle aim of all religious instructions (catechesis) is to assist the child in developing an active and intimate relationship with Jesus Christ. In order to provide the most frutiful and effective means of transmitting the faith to our children, the parish serves as an advocate for the Catholic development of your child. The Diocese of Fort Worth, has laid out an instructional step by step process on how to implement a whole family religious education process that actively involves both parents and the parish catechetical commnity at large. For more information on this process, please contact the DRE.
If you are using the Faith and Life curriculum, please be sure to pick up a copy of the syllabus when you register your child for home based catechesis.
