Family Ministry
“The triune God is a communion of love, and the family is its living reflection.” (Pope Francis, Amoris Laetitia)
Families play a central role in the mission of Jesus Youth. Through prayer, hospitality, and faithful witness, family life provides a nurturing environment where young people are supported and encouraged in their journey of faith.
- Strengthening marriages and supporting young families in their vocation.
- Fostering faith formation through retreats and pilgrimages.
- Serving the wider community through hospitality and witness.
Model of Service
Inspired by the example of Aquila and Priscilla, families within Jesus Youth serve the wider community by opening their homes and lives in service of the Gospel.
"The triune God is a communion of love, and the family is its living reflection."
