Prayers

Family prayer is one of the most fruitful and unifying practices in which we can participate. Every time a family prays together Christ is present. This wonderful and powerful opportunity should be an everyday occurrence in our homes.

The prayers offered on this site are presented to promote devotion to the Triune God, Our Lady, the Saints and Angels, centered on Liturgy, particularly the Mass and the Liturgy of the Hours. We encourage you to incorporate these prayers into your daily life and to grow in grace and virtue.

Activities

Family activities are one way that the Domestic Church can integrate family life into the liturgical life of the Church.

As we enter into the seasons of the Christian year we can use the material to symbolize the spiritual. Through our loving participation in craft, story, song, and instruction we and our children will grow in the knowledge and love of God and Church.

Please enjoy and adapt these activities to your own family needs. Start your own family traditions that will pass on even to your children's children.

Recipes

Celebrations surrounding feast days are an integral part of our Catholic tradition. The custom of sharing food and festivities after liturgical events is a practice that has been observed for ages.

Each and every Christian country has its share of traditional dishes made from recipes handed down for generations. Many times the entire meal is prescribed by custom and its least detail is symbolic in meaning.

We hope that you will find many recipes that you will enjoy trying and that in doing so you will enter more fully — even in the natural order — into the Church's celebration of its mysteries. Note that there are many similar recipes to compare and discover the best version for your own family.
