Help us finish Restoring the Family.

We are $30,000 short of completing this Catholic formation program and preparing it to serve families. Your gift helps us finish the work and bring it to the families who need it.

“The final battle between the Lord and the reign of Satan will be over marriage and the family.” — Sister Lucia of Fatima

Disordered sexuality is being taught to our children in their schools. Marriages are fracturing. Children raised in the faith are walking away from it. Every generational wound is becoming a generational sin. Most Catholic families do not know how to break the chain.

Restoring the Family is a Catholic formation program for parents — the fruit of over a decade of pastoral ministry at Road to Purity. Built on the Theology of the Body, Turning Darkness Into Light, and Restoring God's Foundation. Every parent walked back to the truth: You are the beloved son of God. You are the beloved daughter of God. He knew you before you were born. He wanted you anyway.

A journey for the whole family

What Restoring the Family will help families do.

Restoring the Family is a Catholic formation journey designed to help parents heal what they inherited, reclaim their identity in Christ, and lead their children with clarity, courage, and love.

Reclaim identity in Christ

Move beyond shame and false labels to the truth that every person is a beloved son or daughter of God.

Understand generational wounds

Recognize the patterns passed through families, distinguish wounds from sins, and begin breaking destructive cycles.

Practice forgiveness and healing

Use prayer, honest reflection, forgiveness, and the sacraments to bring hidden pain into the light.

Strengthen family communication

Build a shared language for difficult conversations so spouses and children can speak with truth and compassion.

Guide children without shame

Learn age-appropriate ways to talk about love, sexuality, technology, and media before the culture defines them.

Build a spiritual life at home

Grow in spiritual authority, prayer, and practical habits that help your home become a place of safety and grace.

The Talk Most Parents Get Wrong

A lesson on the conversation that shapes how your child sees love, sexuality, and themselves for the rest of their life.

In this lesson, you will learn:

  • Why the “one big talk” approach often backfires, and what to do instead.
  • The three things every child needs to hear before they hear them from anyone else.
  • How to talk about sexuality without shame, fear, or awkwardness.
  • Words you can use when your child asks an unexpected question.

A word from Dann.

Over ten years ago, I received a dream from Jesus that has not left me. He said:

“You know, it doesn't have to be like this. I need you to tell them for Me.”

That line became Road to Purity. Restoring the Family is the fullest expression of that telling yet. We are $30,000 short of finishing. Every dollar is accounted for. Please stand with us.

In Christ,
Dann Aungst Founder, Road to Purity
