Faith Formation begins in the home, as the Catechism of the Catholic Church states: “Parents have the first responsibility for the education of their children. They bear witness to this responsibility first by creating a home where tenderness, forgiveness, respect, fidelity, and service are rules. Home is well suited for education in these virtues.”
