The Catechism of the Catholic Church states in section 2226, "Family members help one another to grow in faith by
the witness of Christian life in keeping with the Gospel. Family catechesis precedes, accompanies, and enriches other
forms of instruction in the faith. Parents have the mission of teaching their children to pray and to discover their
vocation as children of God. The parish is the Eucharistic community and the heart of the liturgical life of Christian
families; it is a privileged place for the catechesis of children and parents."
