"Family is the Fundamental Cell of Society" Pope Francis
The Domestic Church is the church realized in the home (domicile). Jesus said, “Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the midst of them.” (Mt 18:20). Wherever baptized Christians live, the Spirit of Christ is present and active there. Christian Faith lived within the context of the relationships that constitute the Domestic Church deepens, with all its joys and challenges, and communion with God and each other. The Spirit of Christ gives this communion expression in concrete acts of love and service.
