I mentioned in a recent post how I am working with the DRE of a parish to combat the “drop-off” mentality that many parents have when it comes to their child’s faith formation. Here are some ideas for resources from Loyola Press that can help you to put parents first when it is time to kick-off the new catechetical year.
Resources (either free or low cost – under $10) to give Parents:
- Forty Ways to Foster Prayer in Your Home (by Tom McGrath)
- Finding God E-Newsletters
- Catholic Prayer for Catholic Families
- The Meal Box
- Mealtime Matters
- Seasons of Family and Faith Magazines
- A Well-Built Faith (by Joe Paprocki)
- The Bible Blueprint (by Joe Paprocki)
- Practice Makes Catholic (by Joe Paprocki)
- A Simple Life-Changing Prayer (by Jim Manney)
- Handbook for Catholics (by Mary Kathleen Glavich, SND)
Faith Formation Experiences to Invite Parents to while their children are in class:
- 20 Sessions on A Well-Built Faith
- 9 Sessions on The Bible Blueprint
- 4 PowerPoint presentations on The Catholic Faith, The Mass, The Bible, and Catholic Practices
- Meeting Christ in Prayer: an 8-week prayer program
- 4 sessions (DVDs) on Prayer – Meaningful Conversations About Prayer
- 6 Weeks with the Bible (numerous topics/themes)
- 5 sessions on The Holy Way
- 5 sessions on Raising Faith Filled-Kids
