The Christian Home

Why do so many children, despite receiving Catholic instruction, struggle to live a truly holy life? They have catechism, the sacraments, and even strong Catholic communities—yet something crucial is missing. That missing element is the foundation of all society: the Christian home.

In this timeless work, Fr. Celestine Strub, O.F.M., presents a powerful vision for restoring Catholic family life as the cornerstone of a renewed Christendom. He argues that the home is not merely a dwelling but a sanctified society, one that must be permeated by faith if it is to resist the moral decay of the world. When Catholic families reclaim their divine mission—when fathers imitate St. Joseph, mothers reflect the virtues of Our Lady, and children strive to be like the Christ Child—then and only then will the Church and society flourish.

The Christian Home is a call to action, providing both the theological foundation and the practical guidance needed to transform homes into schools of virtue and sanctity. This is not just a book about family life—it is a guide for restoring order according to God’s plan, for as Fr. Strub insists:

Rooted in traditional Catholic teaching and brimming with wisdom from centuries of Franciscan spirituality, this work is essential reading for parents, educators, and all those who long to see the reign of Christ in their homes and in society.

Let your home become a stronghold of faith—and a foretaste of Heaven.
