A Three-Part Course for Parents of Young Children on the Catholic Vision of the Human Person

Human life can be beautiful and challenging, and at times rather confusing. In a world full of conflicting messages about human identity and purpose, this three-session series offers parents a deep dive into the Christian understanding of the human person—body, soul, and spirit. Grounded in Scripture, theology, and philosophy, this program will help parents reflect on what and who we are as human beings, and what this means for how we and our families can grow towards more authentic happiness.

What You’ll Learn:

• The unity of body and soul and what it reveals about human dignity.
