Parents and Teachers in the School of Grace and Virtue
The Department of Catechesis and Formation of the Diocese of Covington is hosting the course “Parents and Teachers in the School of Grace and Virtue” on November 17 from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at St. Patrick Church in Taylor Mill. Join Fr. Jeff VonLehmen for a supportive and practical, hands-on course to aide parents in these times when the family is in crises with everything from internet challenges, bullying, addictions, anger, envy, hostility, and doing what everyone else is doing, to secularism, relativism, and the forces of the culture of death. While affirming the vocation of parenthood as a key to changing society and essential to the Church, the course offers parents tools to build up their children with the “spiritual muscles” necessary to cooperate with grace so as to grow as children of the light and to handle and overcome the wound in the human family, temptations, and/or trials of the world which pull them away from God, the Church and from their own true vocations. Based on Father Edward Flanagan’s Boy’s Town Model for raising children to be responsible, productive, virtuous adults, the course will affirm parents as the primary educators of their children and give parents and teachers alike some spiritual skills to help children, adolescents and teens mature in Christ, in virtue, better behavior, better choices and good character. The course is open to all interested adults and qualifies as maintenance for certified religion teachers. The cost for the course is only $25. Enrollment is limited to sixteen persons.
