Home is a holy place 2007

 

 

Welcome to the Archdiocese of Birmingham Family Life Website.  This has been launched to accompany a three year programme called “Celebrating Family” set up by the Bishops of England and Wales in response to the findings of “Listening 2004: My Family, My Church” to enhance the support that the Church offers to families in helping them to live out and hand on their Catholic faith.  

 

That’s something that can be demanding and challenging, especially in today’s society, but now as ever it is something that can also be uniquely rewarding and satisfying.

 

 

Home is a holy place aims to develop among families, parishes and the wider Catholic community a vision of:

1. the holiness of the home as a place of life, love, service, teaching, fellowship, witness and prayer.

 

This website will provide you with ideas and resources: some from the national team at the Bishops’ Conference who are co-ordinating the programme, some more local from parishes very  much like your own.  That’s why we would like to hear from you.  On this site you will find a message board.  Please use it to let people know what’s happening in your parish, and to pick up some good ideas from others.

 

Please keep coming back to the site. It will be developing as the year goes by and constantly getting updated with news, events and resources.   Much of that will depend on people like you who sharing good ideas with others.  

 

 

We look forward to seeing you again, and wish you and your families every blessing in the year ahead.
