Holy Families

Living as a Holy Family Today

Living as a holy family today involves striving to embody the virtues and values exemplified by the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. While the context of modern life differs significantly from that of biblical times, the core principles remain relevant. Ultimately, being a holy family today is about striving to live a life centered on faith, love, and service. It's about growing together in holiness and supporting each other on the journey toward a deeper relationship with Christ.

Helpful Catholic Family Resources

  • Extraordinary Mission The Extraordinary Mission is an invitation to accept the universal call to holiness. Becoming a saint is a choice, and we must begin choosing the saint inside of us. We live in a time of crisis. The biggest crisis of our time is not economic, health care, or vocations, but is an identity crisis. We have forgotten our mission to become saints and forgotten our story as Catholics. We must rediscover that mission and hold each other accountable to accepting responsibility for that mission. Business as usual is not going to cut it. We need heroic Catholicism. We must stop talking, and start walking...stop crying, and start sweating...stop defining ourselves by our sins, and start realizing we are saints in the making! Everything we need to accomplish our mission is in the Church...but the Catholic Church is a sleeping giant. It is time we wake the sleeping giant!
  • The Peyton Institute for Domestic Church Life The Peyton Institute for Domestic Church Life was formed to create a collaborative think tank of distinguished theologians, social scientists, and pastoral ministry professionals noted for their work and writings on family life.
  • Catholic Mom At Catholic Mom, our mission is to support and encourage every woman in the vocation of Catholic motherhood. With more than 145 contributors from all walks of life, here you will find voices of women from all backgrounds and all ages and stages of life.
  • Strong Catholic Dad Strong Catholic Dad exists to help parents, especially fathers, lead their families to heaven. Founded by Michael O’Rourke, father of 12 (two in heaven), we equip parents to grow in their own relationship with the Lord, build fulfilling relationships with their family and pass on the Catholic Faith to their children.
  • Mass Impact Having encountered Jesus Christ, we are committed to living it, not as another program, but as a way of life. We are Catholic families united in more fully discovering, proclaiming, living, and building the Kingdom. Here is Mission One.
