A Texas diocese has launched a series of parenting workshops to help moms and dads create a better family life for their children.
The Diocese of Victoria will soon roll out the "Be an Amazing Parent" series of online workshops, offered on the evenings of Aug. 19, Aug. 26 and Sept. 2.
Each workshop will address a unique aspect of the family structure, including healthy marriages, family communication, and household environment. The workshop was helped shaped by a diocese-wide survey answered by parishioners who described an interest in more parental resources, especially during the pandemic.
Justin Reyes, Director for the Office of Family Evangelization in the Diocese of Victoria, said the goal of the initiative is to "give families hope during this time" of COVID-19 and "to help parents see themselves as the ones God has put to be the parents for their children."
"We are called to be an amazing parent and only we can do it for our kids, no one else is going to do it. We are going to give them some practical tips and advice that will help them … but also build a community," Reyes told CNA.
