VI. The Domestic Church

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

1658
We must also remember the great number of single persons who, because of the
particular circumstances in which they have to live – often not of their choosing
– are especially close to Jesus’ heart and therefore deserve the special
affection and active solicitude of the Church, especially of pastors. Many
remain without a human family often due to conditions of poverty. Some live
their situation in the spirit of the Beatitudes, serving God and neighbor in
exemplary fashion. the doors of homes, the “domestic churches,” and
of the great family which is the Church must be open to all of them. “No
one is without a family in this world: the Church is a home and family for
everyone, especially those who ‘labor and are heavy laden.'”¹⁷⁰
