The sacrament of matrimony, which is the foundation of a Christian family, makes it the 'Home Church' (Ecclessia domestica). This term is rooted in a sacramental and ecclesiastical vocation of a Christian marriage and family. Being the 'Home Church' means to fulfll particular tasks, such as: creating a real community of people, promoting life, participate in the development of the society, taking part in the life and mission of the Church. The duties of Home Churches are ultimately inspired by love and challenge families to be communities of life and love.
