The Domestic Church Initiative (DCI)
Strong Catholic families don't happen by accident. We help families become missionary disciples within their own Domestic Church — through Parent Presentations, Parish Missions, and Family & Marriage Retreats.
A message from Kay & Paul.
Why "Domestic Church"?
The Church has long called the family the "Domestic Church" because the home is where children first learn to love God, pray together, forgive one another, and live the Gospel.
As parents embrace this mission, they become the first and most important teachers of the faith.
Family. Prayer. Forgiveness.
Everything we offer — every mission, talk, and retreat — comes back to these three: a family that shows up for each other, a household that prays together, and a home where forgiveness is practiced, not just preached.
Our Mission
Encourage and equip parents with simple tools to help form missionary disciples within their own home.
Five ways we bring the Domestic Church to your parish or family.
Parent Presentations
Authentic, humorous talks that give parents practical, everyday tools to pass on the faith at home.
Parish Missions
Multi-day parish missions that call whole communities back to prayer, forgiveness, and family life centered on Christ.
Conference Presentations
Keynotes and breakout sessions for diocesan and national conferences, including SEEK22 Impact Speakers and Eucharistic Congress 2026 Speakers.
Family Retreats
Retreat days built around prayer and honest conversation, for families who want to grow closer together and to Christ.
Marriage Retreats
Retreats for couples who want to strengthen their marriage at the core of a Christ-centered home.
