One Home at a Time

Family life is hectic and holy. Yet there is no single roadmap for being a Catholic family today. In this inspiring and practical book, long-time educators John Kostoff and Patricia Dal Ben offer a framework and plenty of helpful ideas and suggestions for how the family – the domestic church – can together strive to build God’s kingdom here and now. By journeying mindfully through the liturgical and calendar year – from key church seasons to saints’ days to secular celebrations – families can grow in faith, love and compassion. In living the Paschal Mystery in their own way, they can draw closer to Christ. Working with the parish and the school, they can bolster their values and beliefs. As they strengthen their domestic church and support each other’s development, families truly become living signs of God’s love in their daily lives and an authentic expression of Church in the world.John B.
