3.      Family Honor: Family Honor at OLPH.  Parents have you had “the talk” with your child? Do you know what you are going to say? Do you need some assistance getting the conversation started or just need opportunities to continue with success? Don’t worry…help is here! Join us at the OLPH Parish Life Center on Saturday – March, 19, from 8:00 – 4:00 for Real Love & Real Life. Parents this program is designed for you and your 7th or 8th grader.  It will bring you together with other parish families to learn about love, life, chastity and God’s gift of sexuality. You and your child will have the chance to enhance your communication skills, discuss true worth, guidelines for future dating and lots more.  Here, one parent shares what they liked most about the program, “It opened a door for me that wasn’t open before between my daughter and me.  I definitely feel more comfortable and confident discussing chastity with her.”  Real Love & Real Life is a fun, unique, interactive program presented by Family Honor, Inc.  The deadline for registering is Friday, March 4th. Space is limited so register early online at www.familyhonor.org.  There is no registration fee.  For more information contact Patti Morrison at pmorrison@myolph.com.
