The best way to teach religion is to live it. Children can learn their faith in school, but “there is no place like home” for them to live their faith. If children are to have their faith vitally implanted in their hearts, it must have its external signs. The normal and necessary sign for children is the witness of their own families. Regular attendance at Mass is required.
