D08 Forming One’s Conscience

The formation of one’s moral conscience is one of the most important dimensions of human and spiritual formation that parents and catechists can impart to their children/students. But many today do not understand the role of the conscience and how it is properly formed. This workshop will examine these topics and offer concrete methods for helping children/students to form their conscience in accord with the mind of the Church.
