Family Life
The Holistic Family is a Happy Family
“As the family goes, so goes the world” (St. John Paul II).
Strong families globally would change the world. The Popes have emphasized this and have encouraged solutions.
FIRES is one Catholic answer to being liberated from the “problems” found in families to discovering the “beauty and potential” of one’s own family
This is to inform Archbishops, Bishops and priests, as well as couples and families, about the existence of programs proven to be of great benefit to families. Designated under the acronym FIRES, these programs have been spreading quietly for decades. Each program is very practical and effective, having produced, over the years, marvelous spiritual effects on countless families in many different countries.
