Empowering Parents, Protecting Children
In today’s world, raising children comes with unprecedented challenges. From digital dangers to over-sexualized media, parents need the right tools to guide their children with confidence and wisdom.
That’s why we are creating Restoring the Family, a comprehensive resource designed to equip families with the knowledge and support they need to navigate these challenges with faith, strength, and love.
What Restoring the Family Is — And Why It’s Needed
Take seven minutes to hear founder Dann Aungst explain the program and the urgent need behind it.
Why This Program. Why Now.
We surveyed more than 200 Catholic parents about what they wish they'd had — and what they need now. The answers were nearly unanimous.
The need is real. The work is ours. Restoring the Family is our answer.
What the Program Covers
A complete formation, built phase by phase. Each section stands on its own — together they form the most comprehensive Catholic family formation we know how to build.
Foundations of Sexuality
The framework parents need before any of the harder conversations make sense. Rooted in Theology of the Body.
Healing for Parents
You can't pass on what you don't possess. This phase addresses the wounds, gaps, and shame most of us inherited.
Healing for Children
Age-dependent modules for guiding children through wounds, exposure, or confusion they may already be carrying.
Protection & Safety
Practical protection from predators, peer pressure, and the cultural messages children absorb before they can evaluate them.
Spiritual Warfare
The supernatural dimension of the battle for the family — what it is, how to recognize it, how to fight it together.
Technology & Media Literacy
Phones, devices, platforms — what's age-appropriate, what to filter, how to teach discernment, not just rules.
Community & Support
You're not meant to do this alone. Live group sessions, expert Q&As, and a community of Catholic parents walking the same road.
The Aungst Family Story
Thirty years of struggle. Sixteen years of healing. Restoring the Family is the program the Aungst family wishes they'd had — built now so yours doesn't have to wait.
I spent thirty years a slave to lust. I'm now in my sixteenth year of recovery. Restoring the Family is the program we wish we'd had thirty years ago. We're building it now — for our family, for yours, and for every Catholic family that comes after.— Dann Aungst, Founder
Help Build This For Every Catholic Family
We're building Restoring the Family in the open — phase by phase — funded by the Catholic families who believe it's needed. Your gift of any size moves the next phase forward.
Every dollar goes directly to building the program and keeping it accessible to every family who needs it.
