The Family is the Way of the Church
Each family is, as the Catechism states, a “domestic church.” Each family is the first and most fundamental place where faith is received, nurtured, and brought to maturity. The Dominus Project exists to help families—parents and children—encourage each other in holiness so as to become places where Christ’s presence is encountered daily.
Our Leadership
The Dominus Project mission is not only a ministry but something that we hold important for our own families. Our team gathers each week for Mass and a Holy Hour to pray for all the people the Lord places in our path.
