We also heard an informative and inspiring talk from Theresa Costanzo, Director of Youth Ministry at St. Rita. who spoke on the topic Practical ways for Parents (and Grandparents) to share faith at home. Theresa presented several practical ideasMake a practice of having dinner as a family whenever possible; at dinner, ask/share How did God bless you today? or Where did you see God today?. Read books and tell stories that promote faith and virtue. For example, Beatrix Potter books, the Velveteen Rabbit, etc. Share our cross moments and tell how our faith carried us through it. Have faith images on display in the home. Establish priorities for activities beware making sports a new god. St. Rita Guild meets the first Friday of every month at 9 am in Gara Hall. Please come and join us!
