"Our Father in Heaven has given priesthood and Primary leaders the sacred responsibility to help parents teach children the gospel of Jesus Christ and to prepare boys to receive the Aaronic Priesthood and girls to become righteous young women. Through Sunday meetings and weekday activities, the Primary auxiliary helps children learn and live gospel principles; remember and keep their baptismal covenants; and build strong, enduring testimonies". lds.org
