Chris Alar, MIC, as he delves into the Marian archives for a video to understand anew why the Church teaches what she does about these very important topics. Then hear the amazing story of St. Clare's Home in South Carolina, where mothers facing an unexpected pregnancy or who feel there's no alternative to abortion find help and hope.

The "Domestic Church" is a little-known term but is of extreme importance. So much so, that if we lose it, society will cease to exist. In this week’s episode, Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, shares the Church’s teaching on the definition of the term and what it means for Catholics. He also shares an incredible example of a town that you wouldn’t believe still exists today and how its inhabitants live out the essence of the domestic Church in their everyday lives.
Join Fr. Chris Alar on a recently released video of a parish mission in Pennsylvania, where he explains the concepts and reasons why we should all embrace Marian Consecration. Catholics need to be able to explain this tradition when questioned by non-Catholic friends and family.
