I also teach the adult classes for my parish and am involved in a Catholic ministry as a speaker and facilitator for a Catholic Bible study program. I have a master's in theology and am getting my Ph.D. in theology at CUA. I have taught adult and children's faith formation for the past 20 years so my children' get a lot of faith formation at home. We have a home altar. We do daily Bible readings and novenas. We listen to the Hallow app in the car and practice liturgical living. We visit Catholic shrines, have devotions to saints, and study the Old Testament and New Testament as a family. I go to daily mass and I grew up doing perpetual adoration. My grandfather was a Catholic priest before leaving to have a family and my grandmother taught theology at a local Catholic college in my hometown. We are far from perfect, but I do feel my kids have a great base from our home theology. My husband is very knowledgeable about scripture and we try to relate it to current events.
Sounds like your grandfather felt some guilt about leaving the priesthood. Why did he leave? and then marry your grandmother?
