VI. The Domestic Church

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

1655
Christ chose to be born and grow up in the bosom of the holy family of Joseph
and Mary. the Church is nothing other than “the family of God.” From
the beginning, the core of the Church was often constituted by those who had
become believers “together with all [their] household.”¹⁶⁴
When they were converted, they desired that “their whole household”
should also be saved.¹⁶⁵ These families who became believers were
islands of Christian life in an unbelieving world.
