Back to school supplies: parents put this first on your list
We don't have to tell parents that Christian teaching has for many decades been under attack in our schools and our public institutions. Even the Catholic schools aren't much different. Children are no longer getting instruction in the faith at school and in most parishes it has become something of the past. The business of daily running the parish and home life has too often made us forget the importance of teaching the Catechism to our children and learning it ourselves. So in this blog entry rather than list the serious moral ills that are accepted as normal today, let's instead focus on the idea of how best to create a Christian culture in our homes and parishes. Faith matters are best addressed by being proactive.
