To know Him is to love Him...

According to Father Dan Andrews, parents are the best teachers. Which is why he implemented a new approach to parish catechesis: giving parents the tools to be the first educators, the first teachers of the truth for their child. By doing this, you will grow closer to the Lord as well!

"When we go to the well continuously, we're going to get nourished." -Fr. Dan Andrews

Any effort you make will make a difference for your child. He encouraged parents to spend at least 45 minutes per week talking to your child about the Catholic faith, and then spend at least one hour per week talking to the Lord. It's a way of life that every parent can adopt. But the key is that you take that step of catechesis with your child. Fr. Andrews says it's not important where you are in your faith, the important thing is that you are taking steps forward in your faith!

The thing is though, that we have lots of parents all around us who take this responsibility to talk with their children very seriously and do it very well!  If there is something that works particularly well with your family, leave a comment and let us know!
