KIM ON EWTN
Kim joined Jim and Joy Pinto on their hit EWTN show “At Home with Jim and Joy.” Kim and the Pintos chatted about how parents can lead their teenagers in a relationship with Christ. What is teen faith drift, and what can parents do about it? What is the most important factor in passing on the faith to teens? How does a teen’s spiritual needs differ from the spiritual needs of a younger child? Two-parter!
PARENTING RETREAT IN BOISE
If you live in the Boise area, join Kim for a 2-day parenting retreat: “Cultivating Healthy and Holy Families.” April 26-27 at St. Mark’s Catholic Church. We’ll be chatting about how you can “grow” a discipleship home where the seeds of family faith can flourish. Limited tickets. For more information and to register, CLICK HERE.
Intentional Catholic parenting begins with the assumption that parents are the primary and most powerful catechists for their children. They are uniquely qualified to lead their children to mature faith.
ICP’s mission is to give parents the confidence and tools they need on this journey of raising disciples. We focus on two core areas:
-
-
nurturing and protecting the parent-child connection
-
building a radiant home faith culture
-
These two areas are unpacked in Kim’s “7 Building Blocks to a Joyful Catholic Home.”

Great App for Catholic Parents!
For years, Dr. Greg and Lisa Popcak have encouraged parents in their parenting vocation, and now they have initiated a ministry and framework to help us. Catholic HOM is an app that will help you understand your family life as a liturgy, and even the most mundane aspect of family life as acts of worship.
