The World Congress of Families, which is held once every three years, was begun by Pope John Paul II to strengthen the value of the family within the Catholic Church and throughout human society.  Nearly 800 Catholic Bishops will be in attendance, as well one million Catholics from around the globe who focus on means and materials that strengthen Catholic families in their faith.
 
www.familycatechism.com is the fruit of more than 20 years of writing, research, and filming of renowned Catholic teachers and apologists – in both the internet and catechetical worlds, this tool is unprecedented.  A generation of labor is now ready to bear fruit on the Internet; anyone can access this tool for free across the entire globe."

Project Spokeswoman, Theresa Schmitz, states:
 
"This is the first web site of its kind in the world. The answer to every question in the Catholic Catechism is available in English and Spanish. But it is far more than short answers given in a sentence or two…
"The Online-Family Catechism is interactive; providing in-depth answers to the 304 questions of the Apostolate's Family Catechism from hundreds of sources. Each question can be studied focusing on Scripture, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, historic Papal documents, Vatican II documents, and a massive TV library with over 15,000 video commentaries with leading Catholic theologians and experts like Francis Cardinal Arinze, Fr. Pablo Straub, Mother Teresa, Dr. Scott Hahn, and others.
"In addition, there are over 800 Theological Illustrations with captions that inspire meditation and vibrant discussions. The answers are searchable by topic, or by question number as listed in the Family Catechism book.
 
"The four pillars of the Catholic Catechism –the Creed, the Sacraments, Morality, and Prayer, are brought to life with this 'living catechism.' Whether used for family catechesis, school and parish catechesis, or academic research, this resource stands alone as a tool for the anxious parent, the hungry learner, or the casual seeker.
 
"We invite one and all to experience the beauty and depth of Catholic Truth at www.familycatechism.com."
