During quarantine, parents find themselves having to be more responsible for continuing their children’s religious education, especially if their children attend public schools. Although initially it may seem like extra work, this is a prime opportunity to underscore and continue faith formation in the home. Grounding your children in faith may help them feel more stable and secure in this unsettling and disorienting period.
