Marriage & Family
As the identity of marriage and societal supports for marriage break down, the need is great for robust supports for marriage and family life if couples are to become saints and raise their children to be saints! Below is a list of local Catholic communities and initiatives intent on helping couples (especially young couples) to build a thriving marriage and family!
School of Love
School of Love, founded here in Kansas City by Mike and Kristi Dennihan, exists to deepen Catholic marriages and families in faith and in love, through continual formation programs and materials that are spiritual, intellectual, and relational. In addition to School of Love’s programs and materials, which are available to any family, School of Love is also a community of “member” families in Kansas City who are united in their efforts to strive for holiness within family life.

Domestic Church
The Domestic Church movement was founded in 1973 in Poland and arrived in the U.S. in 2011. Since then, it has spread rapidly across the country. It exists to help married couples grow in holiness together. Couples begin by making a retreat, followed by joining a couples’ small group where they receive ongoing formation for living a holy marriage.
