They have already been meeting for adult sessions to have time to deepen their faith and learn more about the sacraments so that they can 'pass on that faith' to their children. The Pope says
On the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord that we celebrated in January, Pope Francis baptised 25 babies. At the Baptism he reminded the families:
“not to forget that the greatest inheritance you can give to your children is the faith. Try to see that it is not lost; nurture it, and leave it as an inheritance”Please remember the parents and adults preparing our young people for the sacraments of reconciliation and Holy Communion.
