Goals

 

(1) To promote and encourage Catholic family life by providing a support group for families that opt to educate their children at home.

(2) To foster the 3 vocations of married, single, or religious life through our activities and experiences.

(3) TORCH supports & fosters the family as the primary place where vocations to the religious life are nurtured & formed. We encourage our members to be open to God in calling their children to the various forms of religious life, i.e. priests and religious or consecrated lay people.

(4) To teach the traditions and history of our Holy Mother Church, devotion to the Blessed Mother, the lives of the saints, and reverence for the Holy Father, our Pope, through in-home activities.

(5) To support families in their homeschooling efforts by conducting a monthly forum at which curriculum, books, ideas, and questions can be discussed.

(6) To sponsor trips to religious shrines, churches, and places of interest of the Catholic Faith.

(7) To furnish opportunities for field trips relating to Art, Music, History, and Science.

(8) To provide Catholic playmates for our children.

(9) To provide a relaxed monthly get-together for parents to meet socially through lectures and audio and/or video presentations, so as to aid adult formation in the Faith.

(10) To provide communication through newsletters, meetings, and phone chains.
