Purpose: The Parenting Talks at Christ the King are designed to help you raise Catholic kids in a modern world. You are not alone in the important task of raising your children! We are a Church community and we are here to support one another!
Theme: This year, our 4-part Parenting Talk Series is on Theology of the Body. These talks will help you understand how to teach Theology of the Body related topics to your children, based on their age.
Speaker: We are thrilled to host Monica Ashour as our Speaker. Monica is the founder and President of TOBET, a prophetic organization dedicated to promoting God’s design for the human person through our bodies. TOBET is a fantastic resource that is right in our backyard (Irving!).

Unique Features of this Event
TWO talks in ONE Evening: Why? The 1st 45 minute talk is dedicated to parents of littles through elementary school-aged children. The 2nd is dedicated to parents of middle and high school-aged children. As these age groups are parented very differently, the talks will be tailored to the specific age group. If you have a child in both categories, please feel free to attend both. The speaker will be attentive to minimize repetitive content.
Childcare: We have heard you! Many have noted that providing childcare during events would make them more accessible for parents and families. We’re giving it a go. Here’s how it works:
All children will be in the Community Center gym.
If staying for dinner, littles & elementary students must be picked up and brought to dinner. Middle & high school students will be brought over to the cafeteria.
As of 10/8/2025: There have been no sign ups for childcare during the second talk. Please contact Katie Aguilar, kaguilar@ctkdallas.org, if you need childcare during this time so we can arrange care.
Dinner: Going out on a weeknight can be tough. We’re hoping that providing dinner makes it easier for you. Whether you’re just coming for 1 parenting session or both, please feel free to sign up for dinner using the RSVP link. We will be asking for $10 to assist with costs. You will be sent a link before the event.
