Empowering Parents & Caregivers to
Pass on the Faith to Their Children

The Catholic Parenting Initiative will provide wholistic formation, accompaniment and support, parenting workshops and trainings, resources, formational experiences, and, most importantly, opportunities to encounter and develop a personal relationship with God. It is our sincere hope that this initiative will nourish the spiritual lives of parents and caregivers, encourage and provide opportunities for personal reflection and growth, foster a deeper love of the Catholic faith, and empower them to confidently and competently share their faith and values with their children.
