The Dominus Project

Looking Backward and Forward

My heart TEEMS with gratitude as I reflect on all the beautiful moments The Dominus Project has been a part of in 2024. I am humbled to work alongside Brian and Jennifer as we help parents invite Jesus to be the Lord of their homes.

“Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.” -Matthew 8:8

(ask me how many times I say this a day)

We Created a Website! Check it out!

Friends, we are beyond excited to share that we have finished creating The Dominus Project Website! This is a place that houses all our resources, event details, and how to get connected with us. We have poured much time and discernment into what to include, and we would LOVE for you to check it out! My team and I are here to serve you, and we tried to create this website with you in mind.

One big consideration that we think about when we put on events, create content, etc. is that we do not want to add to the clutter of information out in the world. We try to eliminate the fluff and get to the heart of issues and the hearts of our families we serve. We rely on the call of Jesus as to what we share and cultivate.

We hope you see our personalities shine through the content we put out into the world. All three of us are parents, so we are well accustomed to family life, and we understand that it gets messy.

In our ministry so far, I have been asked if my co-workers’ lives and mine are “easy,” with the Lord being so central to what we do, and I am often taken aback. The presence of the Lord and His grace are abundant, sure, but there is no “perfect Catholic family” handbook or class. If there were, you’d find me at the front of the line to sign up!

Instead, I believe that it is the consistent love that we show day in and day out that will most transform our families into holy families. This is a love that hurts, a love that stretches, a love that forgives, and a love that embraces the mess. This is the kind of love that embraces the invitation of the Cross. This is the love I am striving for in 2025.

The team and I say the same thing at the end of every meeting: “Has to be Jesus, Can’t Be Us!”

These are books that have inspired us in our ministry this past year.

A Podcast for Parents and Caregivers

The Dominus Project has partnered with Fr. Josh Johnson to create a fresh way to build up the practices of the domestic church in your home. Holy Habits in the House is a video podcast that looks into the lives of real families to see how they strive for holiness amidst the joys, sorrows, and messiness of family life. We’ve put the trailer below, and the first episode is available for free on our website. Check out all the episodes at our patreon and get access to them, plus future content, for less than the price of a cup of coffee!
