Welcome back to the Domestic Church Project Podcast! This week we are chatting about practical and meaningful things that you can do in your Domestic Church to more fully enter into the Triduum. And in case that term is new to you, the Triduum is the time when we mark the Lord’s Passion, Death and Resurrection. The Triduum begins on the evening of …

Welcome back to the DCP Podcast! Life has been NUTS for us lately, and we are working hard to get back into the swing of things right now. What is craziest of all is that we have yet to talk about Lent on the podcast (WHAT!), and so, it is time to do just that. But first, let’s acknowledge something. We are a little over 2 weeks into Lent, but if y…

Welcome back to the Domestic Church Project Podcast. This week we were delighted to have Matt Pinto, the founder of former president of Ascension Press, on the podcast.

Today we are sharing one of our favorite people with you. Deb is a single mother to one sweet little girl and she was part of our Beta test of the DCP Bootcamp this fall. What was unique about Deb and Emma’s experience of the DCP Bootcamp is that Deb shares custody with her ex-husband, so she had to get creative about when and how she and Emma woul…

The process of creating the Domestic Church Project Bootcamp has forced us to really analyze our own experience. We thought really hard about the major thing we felt just before diving into this work. And that major feeling was fear. Here are just a few of the fears we experienced: The fear that if I try I might fail. The fear that if I invest in m…

Especially this last year, there has been LOTS of talk about the Domestic Church within Catholic Circles. We know we need to be the primary educator of our children’s faith, we know that we need to be leading homes that are centers for holiness, but, you are anything like us, there are a number of things holding us back. Over the years Nancy has be…

Welcome to the Domestic Church Project Podcast, a podcast for Catholic Parents. We are Bill and Nancy from Catholic Sprouts, and we aren't starting this podcast because we have it all figured out. Not at all. We are very much in the trenches of parenthood, with five young children. We worry too much, and yell too much...and rely on God too little. …

The Church tells us that as Catholic Parents we are the “primary educator of our children’s faith.” But…what if we don’t feel qualified to teach the Faith? What if our own formation was poor (or poorly received)? What then? And what if we are busy…can’t we just out source teaching the Faith to our parish or school. Well, here’s the hard truth. No m…

We are all busy. Too busy, in fact. And teaching the Faith in our homes is just one more thing. Plus, when will I have time to prep the lessons, gather the craft supplies and scroll for ideas on Pinterest?!? okay, stop and take a breath. We told you last week that you need to be the primary educator of your child’s faith…and this week we are going …
