Thank you for your prayers and support!
We are offering these missions in the spirit of Matthew 10:8 - “Without cost you have received, without cost you are to give.” This means that we are offering the missions without fee. We will accept any donations that are given, but as churches experience financial difficulty during these times, we are not allowing money to be the reason that we don’t offer our ministry. Please help support us, so we can continue to “pay it forward!”

Brian shares, "God has called our family to go on mission to love and serve through corporal and spiritual works of mercy at a grassroots level, bringing hope and joy to each community we serve." |

Why Now?
As the world and the Church are adversely affected by the pandemic, the hope found in Christ is needed now more than ever. During this difficult time, some parishes are experiencing a type of paralysis, finding themselves unable to determine what is their best course of action. We want to help. Rather than wait for the perfect conditions, we want to make a gift of ourselves now. We rest in the hope that in imperfect situations, Christ will guide us. Indeed, Christ is guiding us now! |
Parish-Specific Outreach
We are working with each parish to tailor the mission to their specific spiritual and physical needs. The whole Butler family will work together to provide outreach such as:
- meal preparation for the poor
- family service to those in need
- communal prayer
- personal witness
- teaching/formation for youth, adults, and parish/school personnel
Formation and teaching from Brian covers a range of topics, including:
- Theology of the Body 101
- How to Talk to Your Kids about Sex
- Marriage and the Eucharist
- Chastity, Dating, and Waiting
- Love, Sex, and Relationships
- Building Authentic Community

Meet the dufrenes!
We're excited to have them join us in select cities to offer their gifts alongside us with prayer, music, logistics, and witness!
Hey y’all! We’re Mark and Abby Dufrene, and these are our boys, Fulton (2) and John Paul (10 months).
We are excited to announce that our family will be partnering with Echo Community for their Love & Testify: Family Mission Outreach for the Fall of 2020 at various parishes! God has done great things in us through Echo Community, and we are blessed to have the opportunity to journey side by side this fall. After receiving so much from this ministry, we are passionate about doing our part in testifying to the beautiful transformation that can happen when we allow God into the deepest, and even darkest, places our hearts. Thank you in advance for your generous support which gives us the opportunity to know, love, and serve the Lord more abundantly. God Bless, Mark, Abby, Fulton, and John Paul |
