Especially this last year, there has been LOTS of talk about the Domestic Church within Catholic Circles. We know we need to be the primary educator of our children’s faith, we know that we need to be leading homes that are centers for holiness, but, you are anything like us, there are a number of things holding us back.
Over the years Nancy has been held back from fully embracing her role as a Catholic Mother due to “idea overwhelm”. Over and over again she would read a great book or talk to an experienced mom and come back with all these ideas…only to have them flop when she tried to make them work in her house.
Bill has felt paralyzed in his role as a Catholic Father due largely to comparison. Many of his close Catholic male friends have advanced degrees in Theology. Many of them went through seminary only to discern out toward the end. Bill does not have an advanced degree in Theology, he can’t quote the Suma and sometimes he feels ill-equipped to teach the faith.
So, these are the things that have held us back, and we still struggle with them, but we have been liberated by this one truth:
GOD KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING WHEN HE MADE US PARENTS.
And if He thought we were up to the task of parenting (with His grace, of course) then we are, and we should stop all of the constant researching and second-guessing and comparing and just focus on the kids in front of us!
Therefore, if you are interested in moving past the things in your life that have kept you from building your Domestic Church, I invite you to join us inside our new app, available January 1, and lead your family through the Domestic Church Project Bootcamp.
The doors will only be open January 1st-6th.

Join us, and let’s build our Domestic Churches, together!
In Christ,
Bill and Nancy
