At FFI, we believe that marriage is more than just a partnership—it is a vocation. The 2024 Annual Conference on Marriage, themed "Marriage as Mission," is dedicated to helping couples embrace their marriage as a purposeful journey toward holiness. This year’s conference is designed to equip couples with the tools they need to live out their vocation with intention, love, and faith.
We are excited to welcome Mike and Alicia Hernon, founders of the Messy Family Project, as our keynote speakers. With their experience of raising ten children and navigating the ups and downs of family life, Mike and Alicia are passionate about empowering parents to embrace their sacred calling. Their journey from a simple podcast to a full-time ministry has inspired thousands of families around the world. At this conference, they will share their insights on how to live out your marriage as a mission, even in the midst of life’s messiness.
"Marriage as Mission" seeks to renew and strengthen the commitment of couples who wish to live out their marriage as a calling. Through inspiring talks and an interactive Q&A session we aim to empower couples to deepen their bond with each other and with God.
Whether you’re newly married or have been together for decades, this conference offers something for everyone. Join us as we explore how to make your marriage a living mission, one that reflects God’s love and grace in every aspect of your life.
Speakers
Mike and Alicia Hernon
Mike and Alicia Hernon are the founders of the Messy Family Project, a ministry dedicated to empowering parents to embrace their sacred calling. Married in the early 1990s, they have raised ten children and are now grandparents, drawing on their extensive experience of family life to offer practical insights into Catholic marriage and parenting. What began as a podcast in 2015 quickly grew into one of the top resources for Catholic parents worldwide, reaching thousands of families each month. In 2018, they left their careers to focus full-time on the Messy Family Project, providing hope, encouragement, and tools to help parents navigate the complexities of family life. The Hernons believe that every family has a unique grace given by the sacrament of marriage, and their work continues to inspire families to thrive, even in the midst of life’s messiness.
