Catholics For Family Peace Education and Research Initiative
Welcome to our website!
October is a very important month to us because it is Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM). To prepare for this opportunity for education and renewed prayer efforts, we have developed resources, organized events, and created social media posts for YOU to use, attend, and share.
We are excited to share our 2017 Domestic Violence Awareness Toolkit, and we will update the site regularly to highlight various events, like the DVAM Mass on October 7th. Please see the links below for both this year's and last year's toolkit.

Were you unable to attend the Mass for Family Peace?
Don't worry! We recorded The Reverend Monsignor John Enzler's homily, and it is now available for viewing and sharing. Msgr. Enzler, CEO and President of Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Washington, is a passionate advocate for family peace. During his homily, Msgr. Enzler shared some harrowing statistics while also encouraging us all to take action by praying and educating ourselves about domestic violence in our own parishes and communities. Please take the time to listen to his message, and let us share in the joyful hope we have as advocates for all people's safety and dignity. |

We aim to inform the Catholic community on ways to promote family peace and to prevent and respond to domestic abuse and to provide resources and promote prayer for all families. Our initiative provides education, resources, and research that help pastoral leaders, clergy, and parishioners recognize domestic abuse and respond with compassion.
Catholics for Family Peace also serves as a clearinghouse for effective pastoral practices of the universal Church that address violence in the home. Training and information presentations may be scheduled at parishes, seminaries, and for organizations. To schedule a training, contact us.
