ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Me & My House is a practical game plan for Catholic parents who are struggling with all the things that parents struggle with. We challenge you to do little things. To make little changes that will make a huge impact on your family.
In this Catholic Parenting Program, you will discover the foundations that can strengthen your motherhood and fatherhood. You will learn the habits that can make parenting easier, and the habits that you absolutely want to avoid. In fact, we will get so practical that we'll discuss discipline and how to set boundaries, so that by the end of the program you will have a very clear sense of how you want to build your unique family culture with the children God has given you.
We have also included an entire section on the Faith, so that you can begin guiding your son or daughter towards God’s plan for their lives in a way that is natural and effective.
The program runtime is approximately 5 hours and 40 minutes, and comes with a Participant's Guide and Leader's Guide.

The dioceses are starting to talk...

Diocese of Corpus Christi
I watched all of the sample videos, and I was so impressed that I ordered the full set of DVDs.
This is exactly the message that is needed for Catholic parents everywhere.
I also love the quality of the videos and how short and sweet they are.
Sometimes the parents are even more distracted than the children, so it is a challenge to keep their attention for more than 10 minutes at a time.
Yvette Bourque
Diocese of Pembroke
To the best of my knowledge this is the first ever video series on raising your kids in a Catholic family….its long overdue.
The short videos are so helpful. I can see this would be especially useful for those Catholics who have not been brought up in their faith and have never seen the faith lived themselves.
The videos are a must see if you are going to raise your kids Catholic. I wish there were available when my children were young.
