Our Mission:

A Catholic community for engaged, married couples and school-aged families seeking friendship, formation, prayer, and support in the vocation of marriage and family life.

About Sancta Familia

Sancta Familia, Latin for Holy Family, is a ministry at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Augustine and part of our Youth Ministry. 

We believe in the beauty of the domestic Church and the mission of marriage and family life as a witness to the world. Through prayer, community, formation, and shared life, Sancta Familia helps couples and families grow in holiness, friendship, and joyful belonging within the parish family.

Whether you are preparing for marriage, growing in marriage, raising children, navigating family life, or seeking deeper Catholic community, you are welcome here.
