About this ebook
My mentoring service was provided to Korean immigrant parents in pastoral settings for the purpose of helping them renew their family spirit and strengthen their relationships with their Canadian-raised children. Both Jean-Guy Nadeau's pastoral praxeology and Richard Osmer's four main tasks were adopted as guideposts since the nature of this project incorporated pastoral, ethical, and practical theological. The empirical/descriptive task of observation includes data collection, analysis, and interpretation within the framework of the research design and plan. The research findings indicate that conflicts between parents and children diminish family spirit within Korean immigrant families. The interpretive task problematizes the research findings by performing contextual analysis and draws on theories of human sciences to show how Korean immigrant families are affected by the traditional Korean value system founded on Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism. The normative task of theological interpretation presents how Christian virtues, evangelical qualities of relationships, and ethical norms and teachings of the Church can become incorporated into the lifestyles of Korean immigrant parents who wish to live in harmony with their children and renew their family spirit in full accordance with the Gospel. The pragmatic task of operational re-elaboration implements a ministerial solution formulated on theoretical and spiritual interpretations that are concerned with how the mentoring service can be used to cultivate Christian virtues in Korean immigrant parents, teach them self-control practice, and strengthen their relationships with their children.

About the author
As part of my personal service at my home parish for over 30 years, I provided self-control practice to parish members, in particular those who are suffering in their relationships with their second-generation Canadian-raised children. The self-control practice was provided using four major principles: (1) providing a safe and empathic environment for immigrant parents; (2) sharing my own personal experiences as a Canadian immigrant; (3) practicing self-control by using controlled breathing; and (4) monitoring their progress and encouraging them to continue on their own.
