Home is a Holy Place is about seeing, knowing and responding to God's presence at home in 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.  

"Your home is a holy place. In your home God is with you. In your family life God is inviting you to know him, love him and serve him. There, in everything that happens between you, are the opportunities to please God in all that you do. You walk the path of holiness in your kindness, patience, forbearance; in your search for fairness and peace between you; in your struggle for understanding and tolerance; in your faithfulness and honesty; in your self-sacrificing love, each time you give up something you want personally for the good of the family. Everyone in a family has their part to play, as a parent or a grandparent, as a child or brother or sister.”
Archbishop Vincent Nichols. Feast of the Holy Family 2006 (Read more)

Home is a Holy Place aims to raise greater awareness of God's presence at home, not only among families but among all those who serve them in any way within our Catholic community. Use the links on the left to find out more. Subscribe to the monthly MFL e-bulletin.
