SET APART: YOUR MISSION IN THE FINAL BATTLE OVER MARRIAGE AND THE FAMILY
Everyone comes from a family, sometimes dysfunctional yet destined for eternal love. This year’s Witnesses to Hope Celebration & Fundraiser (to benefit the John Paul II Center for Theology of the Body) will address a reality many sense but struggle to name: the most decisive spiritual battle of our time is being fought over marriage and the family.
Keynote speakers, Mike & Alicia Hernon of the Messy Family Project, are trusted Catholic voices who have helped millions of families navigate this struggle with clarity, faith, and hope. Through decades of ministry—and the lived experience of raising ten children—they speak honestly about what is breaking down in family life today, what actually strengthens it, and how ordinary people can respond with courage and love.
This is not a talk about ideal families or abstract theories. It is a message for anyone who cares about the future of the Church, the dignity of marriage and family, and the health of our culture—single or married, parent or grandparent, clergy or religious.
Join the John Paul II Center and Catholic community from around the diocese for an evening of truth, hope, and renewal on March 14, 2026, at Holy Spirit Catholic Church in Tempe!
