The Domestic Church: Growing Spiritually as a Family
Discover the beauty of the domestic church! In this inspiring conversation, Fr. Shenan Boquet offers reflections on why growing together spiritually is so important within family.
Fr. Boquet explains why the Catholic Church calls the family the “domestic church” and how strong families are essential for healing today’s cultural problems. Families are the cells of society—when families thrive spiritually, the whole culture is renewed.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Why the Catholic Church calls the family the “domestic church”
- Why strong marriages and families are vital for faith and culture
- How to grow spiritually as a couple and as individuals
- The importance of personal prayer life and spiritual life within marriage
- How to navigate different spiritual “flavors” (i.e. traditional vs. charismatic) in marriage
- How parents can help children develop a deeper relationship with Jesus
- How grandparents can nurture the faith of their grandchildren—even if their children have fallen away
Whether you are married, raising children, or a grandparent hoping to pass on the faith, this episode is filled with wisdom and encouragement for building strong Catholic families.
