Someone once said that ‘Parenting isn’t for sissies”. It takes courage and strength, patience and faith to be a parent. Christian parents have the advantage of knowing that God is their co-parent, a constant companion and source of strength.
Parenthood is God’s way of shaping and forming us into more loving, patient and compassionate people. It is a vocation that calls us to holiness in the ordinary responsibilities and joys of daily family life. Our Catholic faith affirms the dignity of parenthood as a call from God. Our Catholic Church wants to support and assist us in raising faith-filled and successful children. The PARENTLINK provides resources for your own formation as a parent. These resources are about YOU and your growth as Christian parents.
We hope you will find encouragement in the resources in this section of PARENTLINK, as well as the resources of the Catholic Faith Formation office of the Archdiocese.
“What you do in your family to create a community of love, to help each other to grow, and to serve those in need is critical, not only for your own sanctification but for the strength of society and our Church. It is a participation in the work of the Lord, a sharing in the mission of the Church. It is holy.” Follow the Way of Love, U.S. Bishop’s Conference, 1993
