But education in the Christian faith begins in the child's earliest years. This already happens when family members help one another to grow in faith by pious practices such as praying together, at meals, at night, on every possible occasion, but most importantly in receiving the sacraments of the Holy Eucharist and of Reconciliation. Family catechesis precedes, accompanies, and enriches other forms of instruction in the faith. Parents have the mission of teaching their children to pray and to discover their vocation as children of God. The parish is the Eucharistic community and the heart of the liturgical life of Christian families; it is a privileged place for the catechesis of children and parents. To help you in family catechesis, the Sunday School of our Parish provides special family programs such as family field trips, special Children’s Masses, First Holy Communion, Confirmation, family prayer rallies and family retreats, in accordance with appropriate religious occasions and liturgical seasons. The English section of the Sunday School ministry of our Parish strives to provide Catholic formation assistance to as many families as possible whose primary language at home is not Chinese. We ask parents to have their children at the school on time and accompany them at the 11:30 Mass. Page 2 Sept 2015
