God wishes family to be the heaven on earth. He gave form to the first family with the intention of making it a paradise/heaven. He wished the primordial couples to be in His presence and to participate in His life and mission. This is the dream of God about each and every family.
The power of evil that destroyed the first parents' life in the Garden of Eden, continues its strong influence to turn our families away from God. Our families confront lot of struggles and problems in fulfilling the responsibilities according to the teachings of the Holy Bible, especially in the present society which is characterised by the dictatorship of relativism and dangers in the social, cultural, scientific, political, economic and communication spheres. Relativism makes people to stay away from the Church, leading them to an immoral life and a broken relationship with God and fellow-beings. It destructs family bonds and leads to the loss of values and lack of faith within the family.
It is the primary duty of every one to take necessary steps to save our families from the dangers of the time. Family Apostolate, through its different departments, aims at the renewal of families on the parish and diocesan levels. It intends to make families heaven on earth.
