Teaching the Way of Love: The ABCs of Parenting is unique among parenting programs available today in that its primary goal is to teach parents how to become the primary educators of their children. The job of a parent is incredibly important. Pope John Paul II said “The future of humanity passes by way of the family” (Familiaris Consortio, # 86). There is nothing more fundamental to our vitality as a society and as a Church than the creation of holy families where children learn to know, love and serve God.
