New parenting realities are beyond anything seen in the past ages. Today there are increased rates of anxiety and depression, especially in young girls, as well as skyrocketing rates of suicide among our children. Should parents restrict access to social media? Many children are disconnecting from school and focusing on video games and pornography. What can parents do to address these challenges? What role can our faith play in addressing these realities? Let’s dig deep and discuss what can be done.

This workshop will offer a practical method to identify a personal experience, and a statement of faith, that can be shared with others, in an unthreatening and mutually respectful manner.

Vatican II gave people access to the prayer of Jesus, Our Great High Priest. This workshop will explore how the Second Vatican Council restored access of the people and their proper participation in the Mass – the prayer of Jesus, Our Great High Priest. The Mass is not “the act of the priest” it is the act of Jesus and all the Baptized. This session will explore current challenges we face in our culture to that access. All of this with an eye towards “full and active participation”.
