DCPP 20: Ideas for the Triduum in your Domestic Church
Welcome back to the Domestic Church Project Podcast!
This week we are chatting about practical and meaningful things that you can do in your Domestic Church to more fully enter into the Triduum. And in case that term is new to you, the Triduum is the time when we mark the Lord’s Passion, Death and Resurrection. The Triduum begins on the evening of Holy Thursday and concludes the evening of Easter Sunday.
How do we mark these days? Well, before we get into that, we want to stress our #1 tip. TAKE THE WHOLE FAMILY TO AS MANY OF THE LITURGIES AS POSSIBLE. If possible we take the whole crew to the Holy Thursday Mass, to the Good Friday Service AND to the Easter Vigil. And yes, our kids are regular bad kids. But, they usually really like to go to these special liturgies. They are unique and interesting! Feet washing! Candles! Touching the cross!
Anyway, it’s hard, and this year George is at a really tough age, but we plan to take everyone to everything anyway. And so, that is our number one tip!
Here is a quick list of possible things to do in your Domestic Church (meaning at home) each day of the Triduum:
Holy Thursday
Seder Meal
Wash Feet
Good Friday
Fasting (even the kids)
Do all the miserable jobs
Pray the Stations of the Cross at 3pm
Holy Saturday
Day of quiet and preparation
Decorate Easter eggs
Bake and cook for the following day
Easter Sunday
Sing Alleluia!
Enjoy all the new life you can.
Feast!
You, of course, are not limited to doing these things during the Triduum. We just hope this was helpful!
And, from our home to yours—have a blessed Triduum!
In Christ Jesus,
Nancy and Bill

DCPP 19: The Costello's Domestic Church
Welcome back to the Domestic Church Project Podcast. We hope that your Lenten journey is going well. We have had lots of good times and hard times, and we are all collectively yearning for Easter!
This week we are joined by Amanda and Chis Costello. They are a military family. They have two children and they are currently homeschooling. They are also graduates of the DCP Bootcamp.
We wanted to talk to the Costellos and just basically hear about their Domestic Church. After all, we all are called to lead a Domestic Church but that doesn’t mean that they are the same! They way we teach the faith, pray and have fun together can will be radically different and it’s beautiful to peak into another Domestic Church and observe how they do things!
We talk about a lot of things including their individual backgrounds, things that ignited their Faith and how they teach the faith in the home.
One powerful part of the conversation was when Chris shared how going through the DCP Bootcamp actually prompted him to go to confession. He hadn’t been to confession in years. Although he had undergone a reversion, something was stopping him from actually going to confession. And so, it took a ten year old daughter to get him there. Pretty amazing.
We aren’t currently enrolling families in the DCP Bootcamp or app, but we plan to open up enrollment right around May 1. so, if you are listening around that time frame, we invite you to click here to join us: https://app.domesticchurchproject.com/feed
In Christ Jesus,

DCCP 18: Parish Life with Jonathan Strate
Welcome back to the Domestic Church Project Podcast. Today we are excited to welcome Jonathan Strate to the podcast. Jonathan is Ascension's New CEO and, as you will hear in this interview, he is passionate about Parish Life.
We found this conversation with Jonathan super refreshing. Across the Catholic World we have heard 2 pretty major extremes: that Parish Life is dead, and that all of our Faith Life should be lived in the parish (and we should ignore the Domestic Church). Jonathan, the father of 5 ages 8 and under, took a more balanced approached and challenged us all to reinvest in both our parish life and the life of our Domestic Church because it is only when we see these things as working together that they will thrive.
Our conversation covered topics from his own parish experiences, Faith Formation and small groups in the parish. In the end, we spent time discussion the ultimate small group: Our Family and how we evangelize the souls that God has entrusted to us.
We hope you enjoy this interview!
And, while you are at it, we encourage you to check out the new life of kids products from Ascension. We own everything, and we highly recommend them! https://ascensionpress.com/pages/kids
Have a blessed Lent!
Nancy and Bill
