"The family is the primary setting for socialization, since it is where we first learn to relate to others, to listen and share, to be patient and show respect, to help one another, and live as one." (AL, 276)
The Church is ready to help young people grow in their awareness of the importance of a Christian formation in the truth of love and in the gift of self.
