The Apostolate for Family Consecration (AFC) is a non-profit ministry to families in Bloomingdale, Ohio. Our mission is to support and challenge Catholic families to grow in holiness, grow in truth, and grow together, so they can be fully alive in Christ. Through our summer Holy Family Fests, we lead families to an encounter with Jesus and encourage them in their journey of faith.  

Without a doubt, society is attacking the family now more than ever. It is crucial that the family is built up in Christ for, "as the family goes, so does the nation, and so does the whole world in which we live” (Pope St John Paul II).  

My family has attended CFL since 2008. As a teen, CFL has always been important to me because I have an opportunity to connect with Catholic teens and together grow closer to Christ. It has been a place for me to set aside from the world and discern what God has for me. CFL has impacted me so much that I decided to volunteer as a service corps missionary for two summers. Those summers have been the best times of my life. I was able to make lifelong friendships and encounter the Lord in ways I didn’t know I could. I want to continue serving God here as an Alumni Corps member and continue to share my experience with thousands of other people. 

Your generous gift will off-set these costs to the Apostolate and will help the missionaries bless families not only this summer, but for years to come as the funds are used to promote family consecration, the message of Our Lady of Fatima, and the pro-life, pro-family, and pro-marriage spirituality of Pope St. John Paul II.
