Join us in praying the Homeschool Novena!

Homeschooling can be a very rewarding and worthwhile experience for children and for families. For some families, the decision to homeschool children can be a difficult one. And sometimes, it is clear that homeschooling is a good decision for a family.

There are many good reasons to decide to homeschool children. Homeschooling can allow family members to spend more time together, it can allow parents more control over what their children are learning, and it can contribute to strong formation in the faith for students.

Homeschooling can also be very difficult at times. Some parent-teachers struggle to teach their children well, and students can sometimes miss out on opportunities for socialization or fun.

Homeschooling families are in need of prayer and of help from God as they seek to form students for holy adulthood. 

Let’s offer prayers in this Homeschool Novena that God will bless and assist all homeschooling families as they carry out their holy work.
