We’re happy to share our newest piece, “The Trellis: Transmitting Faith Through Community,” just published by the Institute for Family Studies. Among the most-read articles on the site, it’s also available in Spanish here: “El enrejado: Transmisión de la fe por medio de la comunidad.”
Highlights
The presence of committed, faith-filled, non-parental adults often makes the difference between a nominal childhood faith and a lived, enduring one.
Research tells us that faith-filled adults matter to the transmission of religious belief and practice.
Quiet rhythms within the home—church, family meals, prayer, chores, hosting others—are the bedrock of giving our children the gift of faith.
“I hear from many parents about the struggles in building a culture of faith in the home and Trinity House offers practical strategies to make this goal a reality. As a Mom of small children, their ministry is also inspiring to me personally as I also struggle to navigate all of the distractions that come with modern parenting. My hope is that parishes will begin Heaven in Your Home gatherings and bring about a renewal of Catholic family life here in NJ!”
