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. "How
does Joseph respond to his calling to be the protector of Mary, Jesus and
the Church? By being constantly attentive to God, open to the signs of
God’s presence and receptive to God’s plans and not simply to his own...
God
does not want a house built by humans, but faithfulness to his word, to
his plan. It is God himself who builds the house, but from living stones
sealed by his Spirit. Joseph is a “protector” because he is able to
hear God’s voice and be guided by his will; and for this reason he is
all the more sensitive to the persons entrusted to his safekeeping. He can
look at things realistically, he is in touch with his surroundings, he can
make truly wise decisions." For further information please contact: Elizabeth Davies. Marriage and Family Life Project Officer. Tel: 07817 479694 Email: elizabeth.davies@cbcew.org.uk Marriage and Family Life Project Office |

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.
