“Family is the path along which the history of salvation progresses… The triune God is a communion of love, and the family is its living reflection.” Pope Francis, The Joy of Love 11
Families are the ‘linchpin’ between school and parish. For many, parents are the first teachers of the faith. Young people may change school or parish, but the home remains consistent. Here are some resources to help develop the Domestic Church.

As we continue on our journey together it is important that we spend some time further developing our school and parish links. We are blessed in our diocese to have many wonderful schools where pupils are contributing to the Catholic life and mission through prayer and service for those in need. They are supported in their endeavours by dedicated and gifted staff.
We also have dynamic and active parishes which are on this same journey to become beacons of hope in their communities. It is important that we walk together – home, school and parish – to engage with young people and their families.
We have produced a booklet for schools to celebrate shared projects between Home, School and Parish which you can view here.

Encouraging Young People to take an active role in the Parish Workshop
The parish is like a big family with people from all generations in the local community. It should be a place where we know each other, care for each other, and pray for each other. It should be missionary in sharing the Good News of Jesus with others and in acts of service to those in need. It should be a beacon of Hope in the community. It is the place where, as disciples, we come to hear God’s Word and receive Jesus in Holy Communion, so we can go out and tell others about him. It is a place where we can grow through lifelong faith formation. Here are some resources to support Missionary Disciples in Missionary Parishes.
The resources for parishes can be found here.
