Love: Eucharist Centered
Welcome
The Family Apostolate is a registered 501 c(3) religious organization. It was born out of the desire of Fr. Vincent Arisukwu to strengthen family life. The conviction of the Family Apostolate is that healthy families form the bedrock of a holy society: spiritually, mentally, and emotionally. As St. John Paul II so aptly said, “As the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live.”
​
The love of the Family Apostolate translates into practical evangelization actions that support couples in their marriage journey. We are also dedicated to the care of orphaned children. Healthy families rely on God's care and compassion. Hence, we bear witness to the ministry of Christ in the world, namely, that they may have life in full.
Where Faith & Family Meet
Family is a small-scale version of the Holy Trinity and image of God’s love. Holy families can change not only the face of the church but the direction of the world. Our families must be a place where God is encountered first, where the sacrificial love of husband and wife, rooted in Christ’s love, impart this love to their children.
The Sunday Homily
6TH SUNDAY OF EASTER: The Peace of Christ is unique.
“Peace, I leave with you; my peace I give to you.” What does peace mean for our time? With Christian persecution, kidnapping, killing, socio-political unrest, mental health challenges, and psychological insecurity? What does peace mean in the face of starvation? Is there a standard for measuring peace?

Kids Helping Kids
The St. Philip Neri and St. Clement Faith Formation kids donated $275 in alms for Emeka's House this Lent. What a great gift they gave indeed. It is not how much we give but the love we put into the giving! Many thanks to these sweet children.
Christmas Shopping!
Like any of us, shopping for Christmas is fun for the kids at the orphanage. It is a time to hang out like other kids. Unsurprisingly, there's fun both in moving and riding in the shopping cart for kids. Marylyn and Chibuike have a sanguine personality and always kickstart fun. Above all, they know that something special will happen after their shopping trip. Ice cream galore!!!
Merry Christmas!!!
The kids at the orphanage love outing. Christmas is a time they look forward to having some good time.
