• What Is Family Ministry?

  Guided by the Holy Spirit, our goal is to provide resources that strengthen and support our parish families as we answer God's call to marriage, mother, and fatherhood.
  
  While all members of the family are called to live out the foundational Christian virtues, fathers and mothers have a special responsibility for fostering these virtues within their children. They are the first to proclaim the faith to their children.” – U.S. Bishops, pastoral letter Marriage: Love and Life in the Divine Plan 
  
  What you do in your family to create a community of love, to help each other to grow and to serve those in need is critical not only for your own satisfaction, but for the strength of society and our Church. It is a participation in the work of the Lord, a sharing in the mission of the Church. It is holy. -Follow The Way of Love, United States Bishops, 1994.

• Our Purpose

  • Empower parents in their building of the Domestic Church (shape children’s faith) – they long for the same inspiration and evangelization that their youth and children do.  Parents deserve ministry and relationship from us…a sense of partnership.
  • Utilize the energy of those who are active in their faith (including intergenerational) and evangelize to people are just learning and/or relearning…make connections.
  • To research/evaluate the needs of families within the faith community including cultural differences and trends in society that impact families.
  • To understand and support the diversity in family structures and cultures.
  • Offer a variety of programs, workshops, retreats, newsletters, resource sites, etc at family friendly dates/times.
  • To advocate for “family-friendly” programs, policies, and services in parish planning including leadership training in a variety of areas of family ministry.
  • To cooperate with other groups, agencies, and institutions in the community that work with families.
  • Bridge “gap” between HSS families and public school families to utilize each other’s resources
