"'The family is, so to speak, the domestic church. In it parents should, by their word and example, be the first preachers of the faith to their children' (Lumen Gentium, 11). St. Henry Catholic Church reminds parents of this at each child's Baptism. To support parents in their mission to raise their children in the Catholic faith, the parish presents each family at their child's Baptism with a copy of My First Catholic Words by Zack Hinger. It is our hope that parents will read this book to their young children and bring it with them to Mass on Sundays, making the words within it a true part of their children's lives.”
