Community Life
Our common life
Our common way of life is built up by emphasizing six core practices. We have found that if we do these well, our families and community life become stronger and more fruitful.
Personal Prayer
Family Prayer
Household Meals
The Sacraments
Honoring The Lord's Day
Active Participation in FDD Life
