What Is the Domestic Church? “The Christian home is the place where children receive the first proclamation of the faith. For this reason, the family home is rightly called ‘the domestic Church,’ a community of grace and prayer, a school of human virtues and of Christian charity.” © shutterstock/wavebreakmedia ltd

Church Mission The Church’s people share a common mission. What is this mission? –To share the Good News of Jesus Christ The family is the place where children learn the Good News. © shutterstock/Rob Marmion

Our Commission “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you” (Matthew 28:19–20). Image in public domain

First Ideas Pope John Paul II repeatedly referred to the Catholic family as “the domestic Church,” for it is within family that we form our first ideas about life and love, and about God and his Church. © thepapalvisit.org.uk

Early Church The early Church began in house churches, where families were the heart of the communities. The Church was formed from believers and their whole household. New believers wanted their entire family to be saved. © omarcharter.com

Family Church The family is the most intimate experience of Church, the place where love, forgiveness, and trust should first be encountered. This is the family Church, whose members are called to embody Christ in everyday life.

Dignity of Marriage Vatican II recognized the dignity of Marriage by declaring that families are genuinely “Church.” The Council restored the ancient concept of domestic Church as it declared: “The parents are to be the first preachers of the faith for their children, by word and example.” © shutterstock/BlueOrange Studio

Role in Salvation The family was created to play a specific role in God’s plan of salvation. The family is deeply associated with the Church, both in its nature and in its structure. © wpwittman

Family Is Central In the Old Testament, the family was so central that without it, there simply was no covenant. In the New Testament, the family reached its fulfillment in Christ. The family became the place where the Holy Spirit works out the salvation of each member and provides stability and structure for life’s journey.

Church in Miniature The baptized family is the first place where essential teaching in faith, prayer, and morality are carried out. The Christian family is the Church in miniature, sharing the nature of Christ. Image in public domain

Christ as Head The true head of the Catholic home is Jesus, just as he is head of the Church. The family’s week should be centered on the Mass, and faith growth in the family should continue in the home. © wpwittman.com

You Can Make the Change If you feel that your home doesn’t quite meet the definition of domestic Church... You can make the change. © bcnn4youth.com

Things to Suggest at Home Talk to your parents about the need for family prayer (start with a grace at meals). Find any Christian books around the house and read them. Ask to celebrate the liturgical seasons (Advent, Christmas, Easter, Pentecost). © Saint Mary’s Press © loyolapress.com

One Step It takes just one step to build a domestic Church. When the time comes to build your own family, remember this: If you invite Jesus into your family, you will be domestic Church. © hillcrest-church.org
