    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.
