“Take to heart these words which I enjoin on you today. Drill them into your children. Speak of them at home and abroad, whether you are busy or at rest.”Deuteronomy 6:6-7
Paul and Kay were stirred by this passage in the Book of Deuteronomy where Israel is commanded to pass down the truths of God’s plan from generation to generation. Today’s parents need guidance in teaching the truths of the Catholic faith to their children. Paul and Kay Halfmann, along with many other church leaders, are greatly concerned by the alarming decline of young adults who are practicing the Catholic faith. (80% are leaving the church by age 24*)
Friend after friend shared stories of how their adult children no longer attend church or lived out Catholic values. Inspired by the Holy Spirit to action, they developed a questionnaire and sent it to over 100 people who have raised adult children and who still practice their faith. They asked many questions about what worked, what didn’t, and how they did it. The Halfmanns discovered several common denominators and from there they created D:6 Ministries.
Using real stories, humor, and practical advice, the Halfmanns have developed presentations to offer today’s parents the tools needed to build their Domestic Church by passing on the faith to their children.
Paul & Kay are available for sacramental orientation classes, PSR groups, RCIA, parish missions, or any group. We will come to you! Please contact us for availability.
