The teenage years present unique challenges and opportunities for Catholic families. As adolescents develop their own identity and wrestle with independence, parents must balance providing guidance with allowing space for personal faith exploration. This period is crucial for helping teens develop an authentic, mature relationship with their Catholic faith. On this page, we’ve gathered a collection of advice and insights from other parents within our faith community. Remember that adolescence is a journey and we are all in this together, building our families of faith, one day at a time.
Advice
In this space we will collect advice from parents throughout our diocese. We will draw from the deep well of experience that we have in each of our communities. After each workshop, we will collect and discern which ones we should share with the larger community and we will add them here.
