We believe marriages are meant to last!
They were made by God not just to survive, but to thrive. It's our mission to provide events that will support marriages and families so they can grow and love well. There are so many tools and truths out there for us to learn! We hope we can help you discover and use them and find a richer, deeper marriage and family life.

Michael and Alicia Hernon are on a mission to empower parents to embrace their sacred calling which they believe is the key to the renewal of the Church and our society. Their ministry, The Messy Family Project, began as a podcast and has grown into a multi-media platform that provides free resources to couples to help them nurture their marriage as well as build a Catholic culture within their home.
Although the podcast reaches over 50,000 families every month, the Hernons also travel throughout the United States inspiring husbands and wives to have deeper conversations and giving them the insight, inspiration, and practical tools to do so. They reside in Steubenville, OH, and are parents to ten children and grandparents to eight. Learn more about them & their ministry at www.messyfamilyproject.org

The Parent Retreat topic is
The Four Disciplines of a Messy Family
There are two contradictory realities. Families are the hope of the Church because they are a sign of God’s love for humanity AND they are messy! In this talk, we hope to reconcile these two ideas by offering what we call The Four Disciplines. We have found that these principles are hallmarks of effective, strong families. Living these disciplines will look different for every family because just as each person is unrepeatable, every family is unrepeatable and absolutely unique. There is not only one way to be a Catholic family, but there are foundational principles that every family can focus on and prioritize. As we outline each discipline, we will explain why it is essential, give examples of different ways families live it out, and offer some conversation starters for couples to discover how these disciplines should be lived out in their unique situations.
