Greg and Lisa Popcak, founders of CatholicHÔM (Catholic Households on Mission) and hosts of More 2 Life

Dr. Greg Popcak and Lisa Popcak share how the CatholicHÔM (Catholic Households on Mission) program offers a model of family spirituality that allows us to encounter Christ more deeply in the home. The CatholicHom program shows families how to live their faith more intentionally at home by bringing the grace of the Eucharist home and experiencing Christ in all the things that are a part of everyday family life. Having presented this model to family ministers in 30+ countries on 5 continents, Greg and Lisa note that it works with all types of families. Dr. Greg Popcak and Lisa Popcak were honored to be the Vatican’s choice to present the opening keynote at the 2022 World Meeting of Families in Rome.
