Become The Family You Were Meant To Be

1. Become The Family You Were Meant To Be Do you long for each family member to treat one another with loving care? Yearn for your children to respect your authority, study hard, do chores cheerfully and be each other’s cheer leaders? Hunger for a marriage characterized by tenderness and unity? Who doesn’t desire their family to embody these attributes? Is it even possible? God does not ask us to do what is impossible. Hard, yes, but possible with His help. Experience a hope-filled day loaded with practical, tried and true strategies, girded with the philosophical and theological underpinnings necessary to move us ever closer to the God ordained ideal which will help us to Become The Family We Were Meant To Be. Presenter, Stephanie Maricich, mother of 6 boys and 3 girls, ages 12 – 31, with beloved husband, Peter, of 34 years, has made it her life’s study and goal to learn and acquire life-giving strategies and resources which enable a family to be tender and loving, to create a haven where all family members are secure, know their eternal and intrinsic value, and are prepared to meet the challenges of life with heroic courage. Stephanie feels privileged to share the fruit of her experiences and study. This talk is appropriate for everyone, not just those raising children.

I felt as if it was designed just for me. -- Lori Schaafsma, Joseph, Or As the mother of nine children, I can honestly say, we all need Stephanie’s wisdom! I hosted a tea in my home for 20 women, with Stephanie as our speaker, and found it to be a huge success. Her ideas for faith formation and character formation in the family were tremendous and inspiring. I am eager to attend more of her workshops and recommend you do too. Julie Thrasher, Sammamish, WA After meeting Stephanie’s children I would say that she is as authoritative a speaker on the subject of raising a holy family as anyone I have ever encountered. I only regret that I didn’t hear her presentation before I had my eleven children! I look forward to hearing her other presentations in the future. Maura LeBeau, Newcastle, WA
