As a culture, we are becoming more and more fractured and isolated from each other.
Our Lord never meant for people to follow Him on their own. Instead, His desire was for us to live out our discipleship in community. Community is first found in our own home, through the domestic church, where we are first encouraged in our pursuit of holiness, supported through the joys and sorrows of life, and challenged to love others well.
This year’s Parish Mission is designed to help you feel confident to nurture growth in your families and convicted to foster other relationships of Christian community.
For the first time ever, we will be offering separate tracks for every member of your family! We will have:
A track for Adults led by Bobby and Jackie Angel
A track for High School and Middle School Students led by our Michael Hoffman and our Youth Ministry Team
SOLD OUT — A track for Children grades Kindergarten-5 led by our Children’s Ministry Team
Whether you are a parent or empty-nester, married, single, or somewhere in between, there is something for you.
At Where Love Begins, you can expect to hear about:
Love as the Principle of Communion & Community
The Vocation of the Family
What is Christian Family Identity and Mission?
A family that discovers and experiences both the joy of having a gift and of being a gift for the Church and society “can become a light in the darkness of the world” (AL, 66).
The world is in need of strong families that can be this light in the world!
