Callout Title

A new K of C video series launches this week, one that seeks to illuminate the truth and beauty of the Church’s teachings on marriage and family and inspire Catholics to live them in the modern world.



Each episode of The Mission of the Family looks at a different aspect of Catholic family life, from the nature of marriage itself to the challenges of forming children in a post-Christian culture. Insights from experts frame personal stories from Catholic couples who share how they are living out their vocations as spouses and parents.


Among the theologians and Catholic speakers featured are Tim Gray, president of the Augustine Institute; Nicholas Healy and Jeanne Schindler of the Pontifical John Paul II Institute for Studies on Marriage and Family in Washington, D.C.; psychologist and television host Ray Guarendi; author Sarah Swafford; and Sister Maris Stella of the Sisters of Life.

Episode 1

The Catholic Family in a Post-Christian World

Parents can no longer go with the flow of the culture and expect their families to stay strong in the faith. Episode 1 of The Mission of the Family looks at the challenges and opportunities that come with following God’s plan for marriage in a world that has left Christendom behind.

Episode 2

Marriage: The Foundation of the Family

The Catholic Church teaches that marriage is a lifelong union between a man and a woman ordered toward the common pursuit of heaven and the protection and education of children. Episode 2 of The Mission of the Family explains that to live the vocation of Catholic marriage well, each spouse must seek the good of the other through the power of God’s grace.

Episode 3

The Gift of Children

The family — in which children are born out of the love of husband and wife — is the fundamental unit of civilization. Episode 3 of The Mission of the Family examines how men and women are called to raise children for the kingdom of God through the grace received in the sacrament of marriage.
