The presentation title is A Vision for Holistic Formation in the Human Person and Sexuality in Diocesan Family Ministry. I’ll give a brief overview of the life stages Family Ministry serves and how holistic sexuality can be integrated into ministry at each phase first, and then zoom in on the tweens and teens and talk about diocesan implementation of Teen STAR at our Catholic schools in detail.
