Building The Domestic Church
The “Building the Domestic Church while Strengthening our Parish” Initiative was introduced 2 Years Ago, but this year it has expanded and continues to be the focus from Supreme. It is Building the Domestic Church Initiative time and it is here to stay now and in the future. It is a very difficult subject to understand and more difficult to present. There are many articles on this subject and more detailed on the Supreme website.

The Family Fully AliveTo cultivate life as a domestic church, a family must deliberately welcome God into its home. This program has been created to help each family do this. The Family Fully Alive program provides monthly themes, reflections, meditations, family projects and Scripture verses designed to help each family place God and the Catholic faith at the center of its life. Through prayer and reflection each family has the opportunity to grow in holiness together.Slide9
