A brand new resource for raising awareness of the holiness of our homes is now available to parishes. Copies for each diocese have been sent to a local marriage and family life coordinator. These contacts are listed on this website; please get in touch with them directly to find out how to get your free parish copy of the pack. 

A few more packs are now available to buy directly from the Project Office @ £10 as well as copies of the DVD @ £5. 

But you can download all the main printed materials contained in the pack from this page. You can also view four of the five sections of the DVD via Vimeo by clicking on the link below or on the DVD image. Large print prayer cards are now available to order using the usual order form.
