Holy Cross Family Ministries

Holy Cross Family Ministries is a family of Catholic ministries that inspires, promotes and fosters the prayer life and spiritual well-being of families throughout the world. HCFM has 24 mission offices in 17 countries on 5 continents, each continuing the mission of founder, Father Patrick Peyton, C.S.C. Father Peyton believed one of God’s greatest blessings is the family and he believed the best way to support the family is through prayer – particularly daily Rosary prayer. He knew that the family is the foundation of society and when the family maintains a deep and healthy mutual love, this in turn strengthens the family of the church and the entire family of humanity. Father Peyton’s messages, “The family that prays together stays together” and “A world at prayer is a world at peace” continue to be the focus of all the efforts of his continuing ministry. Families are served today through many forms of media and prayer events around the world. From apps to film, from social media to event, HCFM helps families pray. The work is carried out through Family Rosary, Family Theater Productions, Catholic Mom and the Father Peyton Family Institutes. Each ministry’s unique charism provides impactful resources that strengthen families.
