SHOULD MY FAMILY BE A HOUSE CHURCH?
“It starts with every single one of us saying this house is not just a home, not just a family, but a house church.” Mark Hart (paraphrased)
THE JOY OF LOVE AND FAMILY
Sponsored by the Five Catholic Diocese of N.J.
Please take a few moments to sample the Joy of Love and Family videos prepared during the Diocese of Metuchen’s Lighting Hearts on Fire, a campaign of spiritual renewal seeking to bring about a renewed zeal for evangelization among the faithful. I hope you will find in them much helpful information vital to Catholic families.
If you do not understand or are having difficulty accepting some of what is explored in these videos, please ask one of our priests or me to meet with you so that together we can explore these topics and how they relate to the Church’s teaching and your life and family. We may be able to provide added insights that may help.
It is a good thing to recognize that one has doubt and questions or that one finds something they should accept to be hard to accept. It is better for you to talk about this and to try to see the Church’s position than to dismiss the teaching as something that you will never be able to accept. Try asking us about it. You may be pleasantly surprised at what you learn.

Here is a link to the currently published of the expected six months of videos, beginning in June 2021. The topics should be helpful and interesting – each in an online video that you can watch at any time.
HIGHLIGHTED HERE: THE AUGUST VIDEOS AND SPEAKERS
Special Focus for August: family culture.
- Educating Kids in the Faith – Mark Hart, Vice President for Life Teen International
- Parenting Courageously: A Guide to Educating in Sexual Integrity – Enza Cerami, Executive Director of Living Stone, Inc.
- Growing Your Family Culture – Mike and Alicia Hernon from The Messy Family Project
- Good News about Sex and Marriage – Bill Donaghy from The Theology of the Body Institute
As families continually seek guidance on raising faithful children in a difficult culture, Mike and Alicia, Enza and Mark will provide you with much-needed information and insight. Also, lest we forget the importance of holy marriages in providing the foundation for a holy family culture, Bill Donaghy will offer an in-depth look at the meaning of Catholic marriage. For the Spanish track we will be featuring Padre Agustino Torres and Josue and Brenda Arriola.
