A different kind of Catholic parenting book helps
parents preserve children's faith

SAN DIEGO, Feb. 16, 2021 /Christian
Newswire/ -- A bestselling spiritual author reveals the principles and
practices of successful Catholic families in Always a Catholic, a new book from
Catholic Answers Press that promises to help parents keep their kids in the
Faith—or lead them back to it.
Norbertine Father Sebastian Walshe (Secrets from Heaven) saw a need to address
the growing problem of raising faithful children in a faithless age. "There is
no greater pain than the thought that your child may leave the Church and risk
losing eternal salvation," he says, "and the evils of today's world make that
risk greater than ever before."
Ultimately, a child's faith—like his salvation—is God's work. After all, God
loves our children infinitely more than we ever could. But, Fr. Walshe notes, we
can cooperate with God in this work, and so he draws upon his pastoral
experience with Catholic families, distilling their wisdom into guidance that
parents can use to help God's work bear fruit.
That wisdom includes advice related to education, family prayer, dating and sex,
dealing with teenage crises, and other common issues parents encounter. However,
it's not merely a topical book of do's and don'ts.
"There are a lot of how-to manuals for Catholic families," says Todd Aglialoro,
director of publishing for Catholic Answers. "But Always a Catholic does more
than offer 'tips and tricks'— it teaches parents to live their own faith with
greater joy and fidelity, demonstrating to their kids by example that the Church
is their home for life."
