Mini Mission - Faith in the family - 8


The Catechism of the Catholic Church CCC talks about the importance of faith in the family.

CCC 2226
Education in the faith by the parents should begin in the child's earliest years. This already happens when family members help one another to grow in faith by the witness of a Christian life in keeping with the Gospel.  ...
The parish is the Eucharistic community and the heart of the liturgical life of Christian families; it is a privileged place for the catechesis of children and parents.



For details of the programme see our post Mini Mission coming soon

Answer to the 9 day count down
We chose our count down for 9 days, because this is the number of days in a Novena, nine days of prayer, which was the number of days the Apostles waited in the upper room after Jesus ascended into heaven for the Holy Spirit to come at Pentecost.
