Faith and Family
Harvest of Hope is part of the National Community of Catechetical Leaders Parents & Families at the Center of Faith Formation project. NCCL’s Parents and Families at the Center of Faith Formation Project is a five-year grant-funded project that will work directly with 200 Catholic parishes in 20 cohorts across the United States and engage over 30,000 Catholic parents and their families by exploring how to strengthen faith transmission at home in the first two decades of life, and create parish communities that intentionally accompany and support parents and the whole family.
To be part of the core team working on this effort, contact Karen Pundsack. This committee meets monthly and works with consultant Denise Utter.
