Pope Francis' Apostolic Exhortation Gaudete et Exsultate focuses on instilling holiness in children from a young age. It emphasizes that children's faith formation should involve immersive learning through stories from the Bible and Catechism, taught in a child-centric way by families, schools, and communities working together. Forming children in holiness early helps develop good character and leads to harmony in families, order in communities, and ultimately peace in society.

36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your
soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment.
39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 All the Law
and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

Research has shown that the early years in a child’s life— when the human brain is forming—
represent a critically important window of opportunity to develop a child’s full potential and shape
key academic, social, and cognitive skills that determine a child’s success in school and in life.

“It takes a village to raise a child”‐ African Proverb
The family is the nucleus of civilization and the basic social unit of society. For a civilization to
succeed, the family must succeed, and right now, it’s not. If we have responsible families we will have
deeper faith, stronger churches, and connected communities.

Holiness in children is about their
character ‐ integrity, honesty,
kindness, generosity, moral
courage, and the like. It is mostly
about how they treat themselves,
parents, teachers and their friends.
