OFFICIAL PAGE OF THE APOSTOLATE FOR FAMILY CONSECRATION * * All for the Holy Family! * * The Apostolate for Family Consecration (AFC) supports and challenges Catholic families to grow together in holiness and truth, so that they can become fully alive in Christ. Inspired by Pope Saint John Paul II and Our Lady’s Fatima message, the AFC promotes Family Consecration to Jesus, through Mary, in union with St. Joseph. Our mission is carried out through Catholic family vacations, retreats, and resources that teach families how to live out this consecration. Families following the AFC way of life defy the odds in today’s culture. Parents are blessed to see most (if not all) of their children remain active in the Catholic Church as adults, with many discerning calls to the priesthood and religious life.
