How can I reach my kids?

I sometimes didn't feel comfortable trying to talk about my faith to my children. I always felt I'd forget something or come across wrong or confusing.

For me, that's what led me to write down what I discovered.

Today, with our kids virtually implanted into their computers and cell phones, we need to move beyond written books.

In 2016, we launched an on-line educational platform. I encourage you to please visit the site and share the available videos to help your children, family and friends experience the Catholic faith in an interactive and easy to use way.

1 - How did the Church use, authorize and share the Scriptures

2 - What does the Bible say about the Sacraments?

3 - What do we find in the Mass and how does the Mass and other Catholic practices maintain and build our faith?
