  Parent Resources

Engaging parents is critical to the success of your faith formation efforts. The six Catechist Guides in the Catholic Connections program contain suggestions for parental involvement in each course. Here you will find some resources you can use with all the parents that are part of your program.

First, there are three parent session outlines that you can use for gathered meetings with parents. Each session also has a Powerpoint presentation that you can use.

Second, there are tip sheets that you can send to parents. You can print and send home paper copies or just send them as an e-mail attachment.

*RTF stands for rich text format, and these documents will open in any word processor like Microsoft Word or WordPad. PPT stands for PowerPoint presentations, which will play in the free PowerPoint Player from Microsoft if you do not have the full version of Microsoft PowerPoint.
