Beyond the Drop-Off: Partnering with Today’s Families for Real Faith Formation

Let’s face it: the old model of “dropping kids off at church” to learn the faith isn’t working anymore. The good news is that today’s busy, digital world is full of fresh opportunities to connect.

This hands-on session focuses entirely on practical, hopeful steps to meet modern families exactly where they are and honor their unique spiritual journeys. The goal is to walk away with an actionable, step-by-step plan to turn parents into confident partners, empowering them to easily weave simple, meaningful faith habits right into everyday family life.

Presenter: John Rinaldo
Dr. John Rinaldo has over 25 years of practical ministry experience in various roles, including parish, diocesan, and national Catholic organizations. He is currently Professor of Practice in the Graduate Program in Pastoral Ministries at Santa Clara University.
