MARRIAGE & FAMILY LIFE

St. Pope John Paull II states, “The Christian family constitutes a specific revelation and realization of ecclesial communion, and for this reason…it can and should be called a domestic church.” As the domestic church we are called to be a community of faith, hope, and love.
To help grow your domestic church we offer a variety ministries & events.
