Family Catechesis

"The relationship between parents and children -- you know -- is fundamental.  It is the torch of faith that is passed on from generation to generation, this flame that is also present in the rite of baptism, when the priest says: 'Receive the light of Christ, the paschal sign, the flame that you must always keep alive.'  The family is fundamental because it is the place where there germinates in the human soul the first perception of the meaning of life. This perception grows in the relationship with the mother and with the father, who are not the owners of the life of the children but the first collaborators with God in the transmission of life and the faith."

Benedict XVI 

Parishes within the Archdiocese of San Francisco offer family-centered catechetial programs with their catechetical plan.  All these forms are connected directly to the parish and work with the specific needs of each family.
