Whom We Serve

We support every level of Catholic family formation, from the home to the parish to the school. 

Fr. Scott Hanes


What Priests Are Saying

Smith writes with a sober awareness of the challenges facing families today. Many of the cultural supports that once strengthened Christian life have weakened or disappeared. As a result, the work of formation now rests more directly on parents. Homes must be shaped intentionally, with attention to prayer, recreation, friendships, and the small choices that influence a child’s heart."

Rev. Scott A. Haynes
