Abstract

This study aims to determine the implementation of parental education patterns in developing children's faith through the practice of basic prayers in the context of the Catholic Church. The implementation of holistic and sustainable Catholic religious education at the family and church community levels needs to be integrated into children's faith education in elementary schools. The research method uses a qualitative approach with data collection techniques in the form of participatory observation, in-depth interviews with parents, and religious teachers. Data analysis was carried out thematically to identify patterns, challenges, and the effectiveness of the faith education patterns implemented by parents through prayer. The results of the study indicate that consistent parental education patterns, structured mentoring and training, and active involvement in the practice of basic prayers contribute significantly to the formation of character and the depth of children's faith.
