“Parents should initiate their children at an early age into the mysteries of the faith of which they are the ‘first heralds’ for their children.”
Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2225
The call to be a Catholic parent—to nurture the faith in your child and to share it in your family—makes you the first herald of the gospel for your child. A parent walks with a child under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, who directs the growth of each “in wisdom and age and grace.” The Faith Formation program for children at Immaculate Conception Church is intended to affirm and assist you in your efforts to share your faith with your children.
