Domestic Church Information Night

WHY IS DOMESTIC CHURCH IMPORTANT IN THE U.S.? The name “Domestic Church” comes from a passage in the Catechism of the Catholic Church that beautifully states, “in our own time, in a world often alien and even hostile to faith, believing families are of primary importance as centers of living, radiant faith. For this reason the Second Vatican Council, using an ancient expression, calls the family the ecclesia domestica [the domestic church]” [CCC 1656]. Couples find Domestic Church deeply enriches each spouse’s personal faith journey while nurturing the couple’s spiritual life together. Pope St. John Paul II wrote, “so goes the family, so goes the world.” Domestic Church offers sacramentally married couples the vital support they need to grow in unity, to pass on their faith to their own children, and to navigate faithful Catholic living in a world increasingly hostile to faith. The habits of prayer and healthy communication that couples in Domestic Church develop in the life of their marriage are both the goal and the means to the goal. Domestic Church is not another program for marriages, but rather a movement that accompanies everyday Catholic couples of all ages through the lifetime of their Sacrament.
