Mormon Doctrine / Teachings

"Concerning family home evening, [President Hinckley] said, ?Keep Monday night sacred for family home evening? (Worldwide Leadership Training Meeting, June 21, 2003, 23).?Our children, just like their parents, have time demands on them in every aspect of their lives. They have activities involving church and school and friends. Many of our children are attending schools where they are the minority. Frequently the schools schedule events on Monday evenings?activities like sports, rehearsals or practices, choirs, and other events. We need to keep Monday nights free of other commitments so that we can have our family home evenings. No other activity is more important for our family." -- Claudio R. M. Costa, Priesthood Responsibilities,? Ensign, May 2009, 56
