“It is not permissible for anyone to remain idle.” -John Paul II, Christifideles Laici #3.
Note that this formation and training program is only for people who already accept the Church's teaching on marriage. Register now for upcoming events.
Pope John Paul II said the social teaching of the Church "reveals man to himself". Not only will it lead us to the center of the Trinity, and transform us and our relationships, it will enable us to more effectively advocate the public interest for traditional marriage so that people will stop and listen like never before.
Catholics for the Common Good Institute continues its regional day-long training conferences, workshops, and retreats for people interested in learning how to safely defend marriage in a time when persecution of marriage advocates is rampant.

Stand with Children NOTE: Although it is preferable to make the trainings and retreats in order, it is not necessary. 1. “Regaining the Offense on Marriage” Training— Participants learn about the secular role of the laity in the mission of the Church, what it means to be an authentic Catholic advocate for marriage, and how principles of Catholic social teaching and a Trinitarian insight into the nature of the human person can lead to arguments and tactics for promoting marriage and the family in secular society. Many have said the experience is transformative.
Participants contemplate how the Holy Spirit guides us in our lay vocation to evangelize culture.
Participants gain hands-on training in speaking techniques, responding to common arguments from opponents, redirecting discussions to create more favorable terms for supporting marriage, and identifying other like-minded people to join the Stand with Children leadership team.
Participants contemplate Trinitarian love as the source and meaning of the person, marriage, family, and a civilization of love. |
