Mixed faith family?

[CanadianMickey]

My families faith situation is complicated and I have been struggling with living a good Catholic life, virtually on my own, My sister became Evangelical protestant a couple years ago, my Dad was never catholic and goes to a non-denominational church, my mother is catholic but has become very lukewarm and cafeteria like, and my other 3 other siblings including my twin brother could care less about their Catholic faith. How can I get my family all back to practicing the Catholic faith, as I am worried about their eternal salvation and I can’t imagine them not going to heaven one day?

Praying is a good way to start. It is hard to evangelize to your family, and for some people it is not an option (could cause family rift) and prayer is the only thing they can do. Another thing, at least with your mother, is to invite them to mass with you to worship God together as a family.

That’s as much advice I can give, good luck, you will be in my prayers!

hmm, I suppose every individual has to come to it in their own way ultimately. I guess live a life the best you can with what you know then hope and pray. I believe it was St. Francis of Assisi who said :

“Preach the Gospel at all times and when necessary use words.”

perhaps your interest in the faith will encourage others to learn about it.

Try praying to St. Monica, the Patron Saint of the conversion of relatives.
