Forming our Children in the Faith and Virtues

It is our primary duty as Catholic parents to share the beauty of the faith we have with our children. How do we go about doing this? We discuss what faith is and how we can transmit it more effectively to our children.

What is success? What are the qualities that our children need to succeed in life? We look at these questions, and explore why the virtues are needed to help our children truly succeed in life.

We discuss the relationship between faith and science, and show why they do not contradict each other, but rather complement each other in our pursuit of truth.

Many doubt God’s existence because they do not find evidence for Him in our world. However, is this true? How can we convince our children that God does indeed exist?

“Why should I be Catholic?” This is not an uncommon question that Catholic parents might face as our children grow up and grapple with the concept of faith and God.

One of the biggest questions from our children nowadays, and perhaps one of the most challenging, is this: “Why should marriage be only between man and woman?”

Let us consider how we, as Catholic parents, can share with our children what the Church actually teaches on same-sex attraction, and very importantly too, how we are called to respond to persons with SSA as brothers and sisters in Christ.

What if our child tells us that he or she is “gay” or “lesbian”? How should we respond? Amidst the turmoil of emotions many of us might feel, Mr Nicholas Gabriel Lim shares with us some useful tips to help us respond.

Why do we have sexual desire? What is it for? What should we do with it? Suppress it? Indulge in it? Or is there another way? We discuss God’s plan for sexual desire, and how we can direct it in a way that helps us find true love and happiness.

The Catholic Church has often been accused of being anti-science, and the saga involving Galileo Galilei is commonly used to illustrate this point. Mr Nick Chui shares with us insights into what actually happened in the Church’s interaction with Galileo.
