Pope Francis says that "the mission of the family is to welcome God in the family when he comes in the form of a child, a spouse, brothers, grandparents." What exactly is welcoming or “accepting” the other as family, in the manner of Christ? What does it mean to be ministers of God's Love, so that our family relationships are healed and saved for love? We will study the biblical, psychological, and spiritual basis of what this means, as well as practical tools to pass this message on to families. Virtual presentation in SPANISH on August 20, 2020 via zoom

May 11-17, 2020 offers a week of inspiring words and resources to help us continue to persevere and grow in the hope of Christ... Why hope? After a month of lock-down, sickness, and loss, it’s easy to despair and believe that nothing will ever be “normal” again. It’s easy to be afraid. It’s easy to lose hope. But, we are encouraged in 1 Peter 3: “Do not be afraid or terrified with fear of them, but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts. Always be ready to give an explanation to anyone who asks you for a reason for your hope.”
