Domestic Church is an ancient expression that recognizes the Christian family as the smallest expression of the believing community, the first herald of the Gospel, and the first school of Christian life.

Currently, Domestic Church also refers to an officially recognized movement within the Catholic Church whose mission is to strengthen marriages and families through a deepening of personal and family spirituality.

As part of their formation, couples promise to engage in daily prayer, reading of Scripture, monthly couple dialogue and monthly “circle” meetings. Through these practices, the couple draws on the grace of their sacrament by intentionally and consistently recognizing God's presence in their marriage. This strengthens their marriage and overflows naturally in love and service to their children, to the parish, and to the larger community.
