The GodStart Program is available to assist parishes in their efforts to keep in touch with families in the early years before their child enters school. The program enables parishes to take an active role in helping parents teach their child about the love of God, remembering them through the GodStart Kit, which includes a series of beautifully illustrated cards and a prayer book.

GodStart is very much a parish initiated program and can be altered or varied to suit the needs of each parish community. Centacare’s GodStart Support and Resource Office can offer advice and assistance to tailor the program to your parish’s individual needs, including those parishes in culturally and linguistically diverse communities.
