The Key To Religious Education

In his weekly Montana Catholic Register “Reflections” column, Bishop Murphy describes how dramatic changes to the traditional family environment are making it more difficult to pass on our Roman Catholic faith traditions to the next generation. These changes have reduced the involvement of parents in the process. In his view, “The example of parents shouts out lessons far more strongly than any religion textbook or catechism. The willingness of adults to continue their own faith journey through study, prayer, sacramental encounters with the Lord is a motivating factor that is a priceless legacy left to the next generation.”
