We are thrilled to introduce our 2025 Missionaries to the Family class, featuring 25 dedicated couples from across the continent. These couples recently gathered for our formation kickoff retreat held at the University of Notre Dame, where they embarked on a transformative journey with the theme “The Spirit of Nazareth.”

Over the next year, these couples will take part in a comprehensive formation process, culminating in their commissioning as missionaries. By this time next year, they will be equipped to live out and share the spirit of Nazareth within their local communities through spiritual friendships and inviting others to go deeper in their faith.

Our retreat weekend was rich with prayer, learning, and sharing. We were honored to welcome Steve Bollman, who made his first return to our missionaries’ retreats, adding a special touch to the weekend.

Stay tuned as we will highlight our commissioned Class of 2024 in next month’s newsletter! More details about the initiative can be found at https://archivesite.paradisusdei.org/missionaries-to-the-family/.
