Always a Catholic: How to Keep - Paperback

by Father Sebastian Walshe (Author)

"Most Catholic parents agree: our number-one goal in life is to pass on the Faith to our children. But here's the bad news: today's world has a million ways to steal your kids'souls. From sects to sex, from atheism to consumerism, rivals to Catholic doctrine and morals want to snatch your children away from their baptismal heritage and eternal destiny. ... There are lots of Catholic parenting books promising results with this or that system or trick. But although it contains solid practical counsel, Always a Catholic reminds us that keeping our kids in the Faith (or helping them get back to it) is more than a matter of technique. Above all, it's about the way we live out Catholicism--in our own lives and as a family--from day to day."
