About Us

Mission statement/description The Apostolate for Family Consecration helps families evangelize families. Its Catholic Corps are single, apostolic, celibate laymen and laywomen who devote their lives to serving the Church through the international work of the Apostolate for Family Consecration. Locked into the vision and Eucharistic/Marian spirituality of Pope John Paul II, apostolate members use multimedia resources to build up God-centered neighborhood and parish communities. These communities form a Catholic culture which transforms families into extensions of the Holy Family through prayer, formation, and works of mercy and evangelization. Qualifications for entry Those who are asking the question of "Lord, how can I serve YOU?" should learn more about serving our Lord through a vocation in the apostolate's Catholic Corps. Ask for a 3-5 day visit. A 6-week visit can be made after that. Formation program Age range/limit 18-35 Consider belated vocations? No Belated/late vocations explanation
