Where Spouses Discover God’s Plan for Their Family

  • "Pope St. John Paul II reminds us that, “the little domestic Church, like the greater Church, needs to be constantly and intensely evangelized.” I encourage you to enter into this Together in Holiness conference with open hearts, ready to reflect on your family’s vocation to be a school of love by encountering He who is love in the sacraments of Penance and the Eucharist."
