The Young Family School of the Heart is a process of cultivating domestic churches through learning communities. These learning communities are small groups of 5-6 couples who strive to intentionally grow as disciples of Christ, practice core family virtues and create communal space to be real with one another.

Every month participants will learn and practice actionable insights and principles in the following intertwining faith dimensions:

  1. Relationship with God

  2. Relationship with partner

  3. Relationship with kids

  4. Relationship with the Church

How: Each learning community will:

  1. meet and share during monthly 90-minute virtual meetings (October 2022 - May 2023)

  2. reflect on and practice relational skill sets (1 hr/wk)

  3. mutually support fellow members in fostering a way of life that integrates prayer, honest communication, and good parenting

  4. attend Mass or serve together periodically

Who: Any couple desiring to learn how to integrate faith and family life. We recommend couples participate together, but welcome single parents. We ask for all participants to be committed and attend almost every meeting.
