Engaging the Parking Lot Parent: A Catechist's Guide to Fostering Parent Participation

by Patricia M. McCormack

Overview

This informative book offers insights into the reasons many parents have become disengaged from the faith community, and offers supportive ways to meet families right where they are. You'll discover creative strategies for "backdoor evangelizing" to help parents focus on their children's faith formation and tutor their own parenting hearts. With personal and communal reflection prompts, this perceptive and practical resource is filled with tips and ideas to help you encourage, support, and affirm parents, so that all may share in the rich and boundless love of Christ.
