Commonweal on Raising Catholic Kids

What are Catholic parents doing to raise their children Catholic, and what are some of the issues they’re facing? Commonweal asked seven parents to contribute their reflections and recollections in this special series on rooting family in faith. From helping children discern their vocations to finding grace in small moments, from worrying about the church their children will inherit to learning humility through parental failure, our contributors recall the challenges they encountered, as well as what they achieved, in their efforts to give their children roots in the Catholic tradition. We also asked four younger Catholics to compose responses to the stories in our symposium.
