Faith Formation for the Whole Family

"Try to put in the hearts of your children a love for home. Make them long to be with their families. So much sin could be avoided if our people really loved their homes."

- St Theresa of Calcutta

"The family who prays together, (you know it) stays together." Sometimes it's easier said than done, especially if you have a little window of opportunity, but no ready plan or ideas. Here is fuel for family prayer - 50 simple, pivotal ways that our families (our "domestic churches') can pray and grow stronger together in this season of life. Print and post on the fridge, or choose a different one to try each week and set a daily alarm on your phone as a reminder.
