Catholic Priest Answers Questions | How Would You Raise a Family?

Have you ever wanted to ask a priest about raising a Catholic family? Diocesan priest Fr Cristino Bouvette, vocations director for the Calgary Dioceses sits down with Ken and Janelle to discuss parenting tips and raising faithful children.

In this video, Janelle asks Father the following questions:

How would you raise a Catholic family if you were not a Catholic priest? Father’s answer is awesome and not what you might expect.
What feast days would you emphasis in faith life of the home?
What are you thoughts on a daily raise with young children in the home?
How can a family foster vocations to the priesthood when they don’t have regularly expose to a Catholic priest?

Many are unable to sit down and ask a priest questions about the Catholic faith and family life. We hope you are blessed by this episode.

What a blessing are these videos that you produce!! I so wish that I had been connected to people like the two of you when we were raising our own children. Now that I am a grandparent I simply try to set an example and pray for all families, especially our children and grandchildren. I am so grateful for your ministry and I pray for you every day.

Hey Ken, could you please do a video on Catholic Marriage, Divorce and Re-Marriage. It would be helpful to so much Catholics who is not aware of the preciousness of This Sacrament. Thank you and God bless!

God bless you Ken and Janelle. I'm so glad to see the great work you are doing.
I owe my faith and my priesthood in part to the grace of God that has worked through you. Great answers, Fr. Cristino. Articulate.

Thank you this was so interesting to listen too.
I have a niece that lives in Langley and her two children go to a Catholic School. And one Halloween they all had to dress up as a saint and right about who they were dressed up as I thought that was a wonderful idea

I come from a French family. We do the same thing when it comes to names ... my middle name is after my dad but they added a E at the end it becomes female. I never heard of fr cristino s name before. It was interesting to hear how he got it. Im from Calgary and we had him at our mom's group a few years ago. I am always learning from him. Oh my middle name is Rollande. Drop the E and you got my dad's name. It will be 3 years in January 5/6 since passed away from cancer. He did no treatments. He never went to Church Mass stopped as a kid. Never prayed. Was an alcoholic. Never worship God. My mom barely took us to church Mass growing up. She barely goes these days. Im the only one my son and i who go every Sunday. We never prayed as a family. We never talked about God or Jesus...etc... my mom gets agitated it seems if i talk to much about God etc.. i have been growing and learning more about our catholic faith in 17 years now. I want to share with her and as many people i can. Even my children. I wish i did more with my children when they were little but i was still learning. I had no guidance especially 17 uesrs ago in the beginning. I was baptized as a baby and never received the sacrament reconciliation in school but i do go to confession. I was confirmed at age 13. Went to catholic school till grade 8. Our small town at the time in northern Ontario dudnt have a catholic high school. So i went to our only high school a public one. I trued even today to talk to my mom about purgatory and dad's soul. She doesn't pray for his soul she thinks he is in heaven. She thinks everyone just goes straight to heaven and little children and babies turn into Angels. I told her the truth. But she gets defensive and she said i learned everything in religion class up to grade 8 with the nuns and priests and Church. Though she said several times over the years she didn't know anything about purgatory. I don't know if she will go to Church Mass tomorrow either. Since she moved from northern Ontario after my dad died to moose jaw Saskatchewan my sister said she never goes to church. She was living with my sister till June of this month. I pray for her and ny suster and children every day and my dad's soul every day.

FR BOUVETTE SEEMS NICE IN THAT HE MAINTAINS THE IMPORTANCE OF NATURAL SENSE/FEELINGS, DIGESTING CATHOLIC TEACHINGS🍀

[maradonjuan]

Well said Fr. Cristino, may the Holy Spirit continue to guide you and bless you. Wished that was explained to me that way when my kids were small. Blessings to you Ken, Janell and Family.
