“We are called to acknowledge how beautiful, true and good it is to start a family, to be a family today; and how indispensable the family is for the life of the world and for the future of humanity. We are called to make known God’s magnificent plan for the family and to help spouses joyfully experience this plan in their lives, as we accompany them amidst so many difficulties..”
– Pope Francis
In the Catholic tradition, the family holds a special place--especially in the formation of faith. So important, in fact, that it is called "the domestic church." St. Gregory the Great Church is here to help you live as a Catholic family of faith in the world today. The resources on this page will support and equip you in passing the faith onto your children and deepening the practice of faith in your homes.

Our parish image of the Holy Family was blessed by Bishop O’Connell in December 2014 at St. Gregory’s and has visited a number of fellow parishioners’ homes since then. The image was sponsored by our Knights of Columbus, to help families prepare for Pope Francis’ World Meeting of Families in Philadelphia that took place in September 2015.
The image comes with Holy Family prayer cards. In addition to praying the prayer card before the image each day as a family, families who have the image are encouraged to read a meditation and Scripture verse and do a Family Project as part of the Family Fully Alive program. See below for the monthly prayers or click here for the Family Fully Alive exercise under the month in which you have the image.
If you would like to have this beautiful image for a week, please sign up below. We will put you on the list to receive the image and contact you.
