Introduction: LoveEd is a groundbreaking program designed to assist churches and parishes in empowering parents to teach their children about the beauty of love and sexuality, all within the Christian Faith context. Isabel Chavez, a dedicated LoveEd Coordinator at the John Paul II Renewal Center, extends a warm introduction to the program and invites parents and parishes to experience the transformative LoveEd sessions.
Isabel’s Message: Isabel Chavez shares her personal journey, reflecting on the challenges her parents faced as first-generation immigrants, striving to protect and guide their children against sexual immorality without support from their church community. Today, she finds immense joy in offering LoveEd, available in both English and Spanish, to provide the resources her parents once needed.
Empowering Conversations: LoveEd aims to facilitate meaningful discussions between parents and children, helping parents confidently have “The Talk” and guiding kids to understand and appreciate “Love Right.”
Program Offerings: The John Paul II Center is eager to help you implement the LoveEd Video-Discussion Programs, available in English and Spanish. They invite you to host LoveEd Seminars at your parish, outlining three vital sessions:
- LoveEd for Parents: Targeted towards parents of children aged 2–14, this seminar lays the foundation for early and ongoing discussions.
- LoveEd Level 1: Focusing on preteens aged 9–11, this session includes parents and children, with separate rooms for fathers/sons and mothers/daughters to foster comfortable and open dialogue.
- LoveEd Level 2: Tailored for parents with teens aged 12–14, this level continues the conversation, again in separate rooms for fathers/sons and mothers/daughters, to discuss more in-depth topics appropriate for the teen years.
Closing Call-to-Action: Invite the LoveEd team to bring these life-changing seminars to your parish. Schedule your three LoveEd Sessions now and join us in nurturing a generation grounded in the love and teachings of the Christian Faith.
Bishop’s Endorsement: We are honored to share a letter from the Most Reverend David J. Malloy, Bishop of Rockford, expressing his support for the LoveEd program. Bishop Malloy acknowledges the LoveEd curriculum’s alignment with the teachings of the Church and its empowerment of parents in educating their children about love and sexuality through the lens of Pope St. John Paul II’s Theology of the Body.
