Deepening Your Relationship With God At Home

Parents are the guides of their children’s lives. In each home, children grow and immerse themselves in specific values. Behind every gesture, behavior or action, there is a family that has set examples or expectations, either for better or for worse.

The modern family is subject to many pressures and cultural changes. Parents and guardians are responsible for much beyond the care and education of their children. Parents may sometimes feel disoriented, stressed by socioeconomic factors or may manage with few emotional and spiritual resources to address the complex situations in which they live. Families deserve accompaniment, support and training to aid in their children’s holistic development.
