"'A very special responsibility falls upon the Christian family, which by virtue of the sacrament of matrimony shares in its own unique way in the educational mission of the Church - teacher and mother.' Families can become 'a first seminary' in which children can acquire from the beginning an awareness of piety and prayer and love for the Church"
Program for Priestly Formation, 50 | USCCB
