If you’re on this page, you might be interested in bringing MHSF to your community. That’s great! We hope to be a helpful resource for you from this point forward.

 

MHSF chapters meet once a month for two years. To firmly establish solidarity and community in the mission, every MHSF chapter begins in January of the calendar year. Most meetings will take place at a local parish so adoration and confession can be offered. 

 

Prior to starting a new chapter, you’ll need:

1. A Facilitating Couple (possibly two, depending on amount of interest)

2. A Priest (possibly two or more)

3. Families in your area who may want to join the mission

 

A general timeline will look a lot like this:

 

First, the facilitating couple(s) and priest(s) will need to communicate with one another to confirm interest in, and availability to initiate, an MHSF Chapter and commit to monthly gatherings for two years. 

 

Next, facilitating couple(s) and priest(s) must register for and participate in MHSF Chapter Training, a one-day online immersive taking place in summer. The training will include:

• Understanding the need for modern post-marriage formation

• Current involvement and impact of MHSF

• Curriculum and content (MHSF workbook, video and audio series, and other resources)

• Details of the two-year timeline and experiences in MHSF

• The “How To” details of beginning and maintaining an MHSF chapter (needs and requirements of participating couples, priests, hosting a discernment event for families, and the logistics of each month along the journey)

 

Please Note: MHSF Chapter Training is required for all couples and priests to initiate an MHSF Chapter. Details, including dates of upcoming training, will be communicated upon our receiving your MHSF Interest Form.

 

Finally, invite couples in your parish into prayer and discernment about joining the upcoming MHSF Chapter.
