AUDIO-VISUAL: "Parents - You, Your Children and their Catholic Faith"

This is a DVD-based resource produced by Catholic Evangelisation Services (responsible for the CaFE programme).
This series aims to encourage parents to consider the spirituality of their children. It is advertised as a moving and humorous look not only at how parents can teach their children, but also at how they can learn from the simplicity of a childlike faith.

It can be used as a way to encourage parents to take a deeper look at their own journey of faith.

It consists of 7 Talks by David Wells, Director of Religious Education for the Plymouth Diocese. Three of the talks look at Baptism, Reconciliation and the Mass.

As the video course costs £79.95, it would be wise to view it before hand, perhaps borrowing it from a neighbouring parish.

There is a trailer on the website. Information at:
