“Holy Family of Nazareth, grant that our families too may be places of communion and prayer, authentic schools of the Gospel and small domestic churches.” (AL, 325)

The Church is charged with the duty to enable families to become active agents of the family apostolate. To this end, “an effort at evangelization and catechesis inside the family” is required since a family of disciples turns into a missionary family (see AL, 200).
