8-02 From “Infant Baptism Prep” to “Forming Young Families in Faith”
Although parents are their children’s first catechists, they often lack the confidence to begin religious formation at home in the early years or may not know how to connect with other families as they raise their children in the Catholic faith. In this presentation, Dr. Bojczyk will introduce strategies for empowering parents to begin faith formation activities with young children to build the bridge from baptism to faith formation in early childhood. Participants will learn how to equip parents with strategies to engage young children through music, Bible stories, and activities that incorporate multiple sensory experiences.

We will explore how our beliefs, words and actions not only affect our brains and bodies, but also the brains and bodies of those around us.

7-08 First Eucharist as the Beginning of a Eucharistic Lifestyle
A Eucharistic lifestyle begins with a theology of the family because it helps us understand how we can continue to grow in holiness through God’s grace in our daily lives. Preparing children to receive their first Eucharist, then, requires a more holistic approach that includes the entire family, one that is emblematic of Christian discipleship: that the Risen Christ accompanies us, teaches us, nourishes us by His Real Presence in the Eucharist, and sends us – as individuals and as family – to be life for the world as He is for us.

7-55 El Niño Dios: La tradición de la imagen del Niño Jesús y el desarrollo espiritual de los niños
La temporada Navideña desde Adviento hasta la presentación del niño Jesús (2 de febrero-Día de la Candelaria) nos da la gran oportunidad de nutrir el crecimiento espiritual de los niños. La imagen del Niño Jesús en la religiosidad popular Hispana puede hacer que los niños se relacionen a más profundidad con Cristo entre nosotros. Esto puede llevar a una relación más profunda con Cristo, a ayudar al niño a vivir su Fe Católica, y a aprender a identificar a Cristo en los demás. Esta tradición de más de 400 años es un excelente recurso para el desarrollo espiritual de los niños.
