    FAMILY EVANGELIZATION
    "The family is the heart of the New Evangelization, since it is where the faith is first encountered, passed down, lived, and sustained." 
      • USCCB, Marriage and Family: Home of the New Evangelization
    • The Church's Vision

      Evangelization first takes place in the family. Mothers and fathers play an indispensable role in sharing the faith in a bold and joyful manner with their children. As families learn and live their faith, nourished by the Sacraments, each member deepens their relationship with Jesus Christ and his Church. This foundation of faith will help children become lifelong disciples on their journey towards Heaven. 


    • Our Vision

      Our team supports parishes in their mission of evangelization, particularly in walking with parents on their faith journey and equipping them to practice the faith in family life, passing it on to their children. We provide resources, offer training, and host events for parishes, Catholic schools, and parents to strengthen the domestic church and build up the Body of Christ.

        Annual Women's Conference - A day of faith and hope!
        On Saturday, December 6th, the annual Women’s Conference was held at the Cathedral of Ss. Peter & Paul. 225 women representing 54 different parishes across three states, enjoyed presentations from Heather Khym (Life Restoration Ministries and the Abiding Together podcast), Kristen Fisher (Enkindle Catholic), and music ministry led by Melissa Roberts. The day began with Mass celebrated by Bishop Bruce Lewandowski and included the Sacrament of Reconciliation. At least 120 women went to confession! Thanks to Fr. Henry Bodah, Fr. Robert Lacombe, Fr. Patrick O’Connor, Fr. Patrick Ryan, Fr. Eric Silva, and Fr. Thomas Woodhouse who made that possible. The women were also able to do some holiday shopping while supporting Catholic vendors from around New England.
