"For it devolves on parents to create a family atmosphere so animated with love and reverence for God and others that a well-rounded personal and social development will be fostered among the children. Hence, the family is the first school of those social virtues which every society needs." - Familiaris Consortio
Virtues are habits that develop over time, helping us make right choices and decisions. As members of a family we are called to assist one another in becoming saints and how better than to practice the virtues together?
