*NEW EVENT* Guiding Our Children in Truth and Love - October 24, 2025
As parents, one of the most important roles we have is guiding our children in understanding the beauty of their bodies, sexuality, and identity in light of God’s truth. Yet, these conversations can often feel overwhelming, especially in today’s culture. How do we begin? When is the right time? How can we ensure that what we share reflects both our faith and the love we hold for our children?
The Archdiocese of St. Boniface is hosting an event at Mary Mother of the Church designed to support parents of both young children and teens, offering wisdom, tools, and encouragement for the journey. Dr. Julia Sadusky, a Catholic clinical psychologist, author, and speaker, will be sharing her insights on how to begin age appropriate conversations with children about sex, the body, and identity. Rooted in Catholic teaching and compassion, this evening will leave you better equipped to foster conversations filled with both truth and love—helping your family grow together in faith and understanding. Join us on October 24th 2025 7:00pm @ Mary Mother of the Church Parish Hall.
