Jesus is the Lord of Our Home
The Dominus Project is here to help the people of our land to plant the flag and make the claim: Jesus is the Lord of our family.
Families, Be What You Are
The Church has taught for centuries that the home is the most important place of formation, but this is a call that often goes unheeded. Study after study confirms the Church’s perennial wisdom: parents are the first and most effective teachers of the faith. The Dominus Project, an endeavor of Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady University exists to help families answer this call to become what God desires them to be: places where holiness can be found in the ordinary moments of family life.
The Dominus Project refocuses faith formation back on the home. We offer inspiring content and practical resources for families, consultation and accompaniment for pastors and parishes, and academic and pastoral education for anyone wanting to go deeper in their faith.

"Building Blocks of Faith Series" by Kevin and Mary O'Neill uniquely captures the child's imagination through Lego scenes of Bible stories, celebrating the Sacraments, and more! Fun for all ages, check out this engaging book that will teach the building blocks of our Catholic faith, and beyond.
Kendra Tierney wrote, "The Catholic All Year Compendium Liturgical Living for Real Life" for those seeking to honor the Church's rich traditions in the home. She gives practical advice on how to make faith come alive in a tangible way!
The Dominus Project hopes to encourage and equip parents, in their role, as primary teachers of the Faith for their children. Dr. DeLorenzo's book, Fed by the Lord, is a fantastic resource for parents and caregivers, who are walking their children through First Eucharist preparation. Fed by the Lord focuses on "scriptural immersion" helping parents to journey, with their children through God's words, on a path that illustrates God’s personal attention, purpose, and love for each one of us. The Fed by the Lord resource will foster a connection between parent and child, while also encouraging parents to grow in their own faith.
Come Together, Leave Inspired
The Not so Late Show will begin with an opening comedic monologue by Father Mathew Dunn and then lead into a lively conversation between special guest, Dr. Mario Sacasa, and our very own Dr. Brian Pedraza. The fun, festive evening will emphasize those with GenZ children, but the night is for all parents and caregivers with kids of any age, as Dr. Mario discusses preparation for one's vocation in early, teen, and young adult years. There is sure to be lots of laughter and practical advice, all while you enjoy complimentary beverages and a charcuterie spread. Gather your friends and make it a date night! We can't wait to see you.
