FAMILIA (lay apostolate)

FAMILIA is an apostolate affiliated with the Regnum Christi Federation, founded in Minneapolis, Minnesota, designed to strengthen Christian family life.

As the director in Edmonton summarized it to the Western Catholic Reporter, "Familia was put together from what Pope John Paul II said about family.

"[2] Familia was founded in 1993 by Paul and Libbie Sellors as a four-year program of catechetical formation.

[3][6] The center of FAMILA is a regular meeting that includes a Gospel reflection, catechesis, study of a magisterial document related on family life, and a resolution.

[7] The materials are prepared by those with graduate-level ecclesiastical degrees in theology and is designed to study the magisterial documents sequentially.
