Dear parents,
The family is “…the domestic church. In it parents should, by their word and example, be the first preachers of the faith to their children” (Lumen Gentium 11). Religious education begins at home, with you. Parents are the most powerful source when it comes to teaching their children the prayers. And in this journey you are about to begin or continue, it is important that you pray as a family, this will not only help your child to learn the prayers but it will reinforce the faith received at Baptism. The most important prayer is the Sacrifice of the Holy Mass. Therefore, it is extremely important that as a family you attend Holy Mass every weekend. In the words of Venerable Fr. Patrick Peyton: “The family that prays together stays together”.
The children need to know by heart the following Catholic prayers:
Rezar juntos fortalece los lazos del amor de Dios en la familia. Recuerden:
“La familia que reza unida, permanece unida”.
