Most important, acknowledge the needy people in your area and help your children to see them. Don't teach your children to look away. Teach them to reach out and help. Include churches on vacations. After a trip to the Smithsonian, the Lincoln Memorial and the F.B.I. headquarters, head to the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, the Franciscan Monastery of the Holy Land or the National Cathedral.
Every major city has a magnificent church.
Including religious places even cemeteries - on a family's itinerary reminds everyone of religion's importance throughout history. Attend and participate in church events. Taking an active role in your parish's programs models good behavior for your children. Participate in your church's next festival. It doesn't have to be time consuming or expensive.
