The family is a domestic church. Since Vatican II, this term has returned to magisterial and theological discussion; however, its pastoral application is still wanting. Parents, the first, best, and primary educators of the faith are not able to delegate this role totally to others. Parents who lack understanding of how to form their family, will struggle to teach the faith to their children. Families not fully living their faith, often fall away from the practice of their faith. Parents must assume their God-given responsibility to teach their children and form their family as a domestic church.The Catholic Church teaches six integrated tasks to her children: To know the revelation of God, to worship him in the liturgy, to live the Christian life, to seek God in prayer, all within the context of a family community, while never failing to share this good news with others. The parent formation in this project is structured upon these areas, summarized in the General Directory for Catechesis. These six tasks, abbreviated as: creed, cult, code, contemplation, community, and call, are the six dimensions of formation of the domestic church, which give parents a structure and enable them to apply a particular approach in the formation of their family. Secondarily, the project seeks to identify parents who feel capable and willing to mentor other parents to do the same. Parents learned about forming their family as a domestic church during six, two-hour in length sessions, followed by four months of follow-up newsletters. The methodology employed was directed at conversion to Jesus Christ, helping parents to understand the faith as revealed by God, and leading to transformation in their lives as they responded to God's grace. Parents who are better evangelized, catechized, and living as disciples, are best suited to apply the faith in the formation of their family as a domestic church. For young parents, or those attempting this familial formation, mentor parents are greatly needed to support them. Marriage and family, as revealed in God's plan, are attacked in today's culture. Well-formed families will overcome this attack and strengthen the Catholic Church.
