PARENTS' PAGE

On this page we will bring to parents some references that will help them carry out their responsibilities to their children as stated in the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

CCC 2223“Parents have the first responsibility for the education of their children.”

CCC 2224 “The home is the natural environment for initiating a human being into solidarity and communal responsibilities. Parents should teach children to avoid the compromising and degrading influences which threaten human societies.”

Follow the links to read some current web pages and documents that will assist you in bringing up your children as good Catholics. If anyone has comments or would like to suggest material for this page please contact Dave McNamara or Gloria Senft.

BRINGING UP GEEKS
How to Protect Your Kid's Childhood in a Grow-up-too-fast World
Today's "culture of cool" has changed the way kids grow up. Rather than enjoying innocent childhoods while developing strong, authentic characters, today's kids can become cynical—even jaded—as they absorb the dangerous messages and harmful influences of a dominant popular culture that encourages materialism, high-risk behaviors, and a state of pseudo-adulthood.
