“Through the fact that the Word of God became flesh, the body entered theology- that is, the science that has divinity for its object- I would say, through the main door.”
Pope St. John Paul II, TOB 23.4

Ministry Spotlight: Trinity House Community
You know that in these challenging times, Catholic families need something different to be able to live out and pass on the faith. And it has to be sustainable for busy parents and overstretched parishes. Recognized by the Vatican at the World Meeting of Families, the Trinity House model shows how a family is a communion of persons, an image of God the Holy Trinity, and how to bring his other-centered abundance into family life. In this free webinar, co-founders Soren & Ever Johnson will share a brief overview of the transformative Trinity House Community Groups (aka “Heaven in Your Home Gatherings”) model, now active at parishes in 7 states and Puerto Rico. Through an annual subscription, Trinity House provides parishes with a plug-and-play suite of resources in order that a team of parents, guided by parish staff, can host 5 simple gatherings per year that include fellowship and formation for the whole family.

JPII Quotes
It is Jesus in fact that you seek when you dream of happiness; he is waiting for you when nothing else you find satisfies you; he is the beauty to which you are so attracted; it is he who provokes you with that thirst for fullness that will not let you settle for compromise...
