I've always found that taking advice from people who are actually doing the work on their own end & growing--not existing solely to point out inadequacies in others and offer zero constructive criticism or help is the best bet.
Just sayin'
That said...
Your kids are young enough that which church they go to isn't going to matter that much *in the respect that* they are really too young to fully understand the tenets of any given religion. They can listen to what they are told and often repeat it with great precision. But understanding *why* they believe the way they do doesn't come for awhile.
That is a journey they are going to have to take on their own. Even if they are raised Catholic doesn't mean they are going to choose this religion when they are adults.
You can lead them down any path, you can't make them choose that particular road. kwim?
In the end it is watching you, the man, and how you handle yourself during these times that will help them decide what kind of person they want to become. Be the example you want them to follow.
After all, Jesus didn't stand in the middle of the square and demand that people follow Him, did He?
I love this saying...
"Going to church doesn't make you a Christian (or a Catholic) any more than standing in the garage makes you a car."
Leave the sanctimonious know-it-alls to toot their own hatefilled little horn.
You can do what's right instead of just being right.
Good luck, my friend.
You are doing well.
