Step 1. Take the Ablaze Families Course!

Have you ever felt you aren't doing "enough" for your kids' faith journey? Have you felt overwhelmed with the amount of resources, burned out, or confused on where to start? The Ultimate Guide to Raising a Dynamic Catholic Family is your starting point to going beyond the phrase "our child's primary catechist", and beginning the journey to raising saints!

Step 2. Establish a Meaningful Connection

We are parenting in a generation that has no village, and we are feeling the effects of it. We were made to live in community, and parenting gets exponentially more difficult when we aren't living in community. As much as we love connecting with others online, it is no replacement for real life interaction. Take the second challenge in order to begin establishing meaningful connections with other parents in your parish!

Step 3. Personal Prayer

We can't introduce our kids to Jesus if we don't know Him ourselves. Personal prayer is so incredibly difficult as a parent, and we get that. We also know that God would not call us to live in relationship with Him if it weren't possible. Go to challenge #3 to start your personal prayer challenge!

Step 4. Family Prayer

Family prayer is not going to look like what we see on social media. It's not going to be orderly, quiet, or perfect. It's going to be chaotic. But that's okay. The Lord wants us to bring it all to Him, especially the chaos! Start Challenge #4 to kickstart your family prayer!

Step 5.  Faith Discussions

We all have questions about our faith that we don't quite know how to answer. Luckily, the Church has thousands of years of wisdom, and guidance from the Holy Spirit, to help us out! Start Challenge #5 to dive into your questions about your faith, and begin having conversations about the faith at home with your kids!

Step 6. 

Start Your Own Faith Sharing Group!

We were not meant to do this life thing alone. We are meant to be seen and known; to love and to support one another. Parents need a strong village not only for our kids, but for the innate desire for community that lives in us all. It's time to start branching out! Start a small group of your own with the resources provided in the Resources tab under Home base.
