Family Resources


"Every home should have its own Bible and safeguard it in a visible and dignified way, to read it and to pray with it...the family should (model a) prayerful, catechetical education on how to use the Scriptures, so that (the entire family) may hear, understand, glorify and live the word of God... opening the door of their mind and their heart." Pope Benedict XVI

These resources offer opportunities for all generations to gather and learn the Scriptures in order to deepen the family connection with Christ.
