Home is a Holy Place is about recognising and responding to God's presence at home with our families, in the ordinary events of our daily lives, in the deep joys and sorrows we experience together and in our relationships with one another, whether we are children, siblings, parents, spouses, friends or neighbours. "God calls
people to lead holy lives within the ordinary circumstances in which they
find themselves." Home is a Holy Place aims to raise greater awareness of God's presence at home not just among families but among all those who serve them in any way within our Catholic community. "Holiness does not consist in not making
mistakes or never sinning. Holiness grows with the capacity for
conversion, repentance, willingness to begin again, and above all with the
capacity for reconciliation and forgiveness. And we can all learn this way
of holiness." In 2008 a multimedia resource pack was produced to help raise awareness of Home is a Holy Place in homes, schools and parishes. Thanks to donors a free pack is available for every parish in England and Wales. Packs are available from your local diocesan family ministry contact. Use the Resource Pack link on the left to find out more. Why not subscribe

Home is a Holy Place and related work in support of marriage and family
