How to Keep our Kids Catholic
Monday, May 24th, 7:00 PM @ St Joseph, McGirl Hall:
It takes a village to raise a child, but it takes a
loving and open heart from a parent to keep the
child in the family. Most young people as they grow
in life, seeking identity, begin to challenge the
question that many of us face as adults; whose faith
is it anyway? This class will cover the roles of
youth in society, youth in the Church, and how the
impact and challenges of society and Church ideology
play a critical role in the spiritual development of
young people today.
