What is the 

National Association of Catholic Families?
We are Catholic families each trying to follow the example of the Holy Family. We try to give each other mutual moral, spiritual and social support in a culture that is now at war with our values. This we do by linking committed Catholic families locally, nationally and internationally, but always with the simple intention of mutual support. We are answering the Holy Father Pope John Paul II's call for families to be what they are. Our work is based on the Catechism of the Catholic Church, the Holy See's Charter of the Rights of the Family, and more recent Papal encyclicals relating to family life, including Familiaris Consortio, Evangelium Vitae, and Humanae Vitae. We help families to get together encouraging them to set up their own means of communication.
