Simple Ways to Pass a Moral Code on
to Your Children at Home
How can parents pass down the wisdom we
have received and now want to give to our own
children? Moral lessons must first be taught at
home, such as providing opportunities for children to serve others, and teaching them to protect the innocent. Sue DiSisto, Education for
Parenting Program Coordinator of the Archdiocese of NY, will be the presenter. Supervised
play for the children will be available.
Please register at 646-794-3191 or
[email protected].
Tell us your name, telephone number, the number of children who will accompany you. Feel
free to invite others. Friday, April 17, from
