Book Description
This book is a practical, encouraging guide for “the rest of us”: Catholic parents that want to impart the faith to their children but aren’t quite sure where to start. Topics include leading by example, having conversations about faith, reading the Bible as a family, learning about the Saints, praying together, learning what the Mass means, celebrating special/feast days and liturgical seasons (Advent, Lent), and finding community with other Catholic families. Tommy and Karen emphasize that this a doable task and, with humor, let the reader know that there will be plenty of “fails” along the way but not to give up trying to develop a faith-filled family life.

Book Description
There is no more beautiful model to encourage spouses and parents in their magnificent mission than the Holy Family. God, knowing that we need examples in life, wished to give everyone in the Holy Family an unsurpassable, admirable, and yet mostly imitable model.Now more than ever the core of the Catholic family is under attack. We must do all that we can to remove the destructive influence of the world from our homes while striving to instill joy in each member of the family, working together with love in Christ through the Faith.

Book Description
"Your children receive their faith from you in much the same way that they receive their language, their loyalties, their preferences, their talents and their habits from you. Your faith will almost inevitably be their faith at whatever level you express it, so if you want them to have a deep, solid and lasting faith, then you will have to put some effort into the way you express your faith to them. The first goal of this book is to help you explore your own faith. The second goal is to give you simple and effective ways to share your faith with your children."—from the Introduction "Jim Merhaut has accepted the challenge to prepare a new generation of parents (and grandparents) with this wonderful new resource.

Book Description
Fortunate Families addresses the experience of Catholic parents who love their gay sons and lesbian daughters. The book had its genesis in a descriptive survey of over 200 such parents. It integrates results from the survey, church documents and stories so readers can access what they need most. Some readers will search for accurate information about Catholic teaching, others may connect with the lived experience of other Catholic parents. Still others will find examples of ministerial advocacy and support within the Catholic Church. Fortunate Families has all this and more. Conventional wisdom emphasizes the stories of parents who react to the news that their child is gay in verbally or physically abusive ways. These stories are told so often they take on an aura of normalcy. But there are other stories - of parents who struggle against the pressures of society and church to find and believe in the goodness of their gay child. It is critically important for parents to hear the stories of others who walked the same road before them-who have come through the experience closer to their gay or lesbian child, and who are willing to work to make the church more welcoming. Equally important is the opportunity for pastoral ministers to hear the voices of these parents and understand the need for outreach and pastoral care for gay and lesbian Catholics and their families. Fortunate Families will help prepare pastoral ministers help families come out of their isolation, work through their confusion and pain, and celebrate how fortunate they actually are.
