Missionaries to Family Coordinator

• Supporting our initiative to revitalize the Domestic Church

We are apostles of the new evangelization who believe that the best days of the Church lie in the future, not in the past. We are a family ministry inspired by the vision of Pope St. John Paul II and seek to build a new springtime for Christianity based upon the foundation of the Christian family.

We change lives. We provide inspiration, formation, and a pathway that leads to conversion and spiritual growth which overflows into our families, our churches, our communities, and greater society. We put forth the Holy Family at Nazareth as a model for all families as they teach us that even in the midst of this fallen world, one can find holiness, superabundant joy, and union with God in their home.

We expand the mind and touch the heart by creating rich Catholic content. Through our parish-based programs, retreats, formation series, and home studies we help families encounter God within their homes. We walk with parishes and dioceses to implement our programs that help build community via small groups. By integrating current science with the timeless teaching of the faith and the wisdom of the saints, we develop a vision that soars above the debates of our day to glimpse the hidden face of God present in our midst.

We serve the servants. At Paradisus Dei, our entire team works diligently to help individuals, small groups, parishes, and volunteers start and run life-transforming programs. Missionaries to the Family is a central mission of our ministry, aimed at revitalizing the domestic church. Couples are invited to apply to join a one-year formation class that includes weekly online coursework and three in-person retreats.

Once commissioned as Missionaries, these couples are sent into the mission field of their parish and community to inspire other families to learn the art of Catholic family life.

Your role in this mission work is to:

• Be the main point of contact for Missionary Couples.
• Provide regular communication to Missionary Couples.
• Manage Missionary Couples running programs and mission work in the field.
• Keep track of Missionary activities through extensive use of Google Workspace, emails, text message and phone conversation.
• Help recruit new couples into the program.
• Assist with planning, attending, and running retreat weekends.
• Manage surveys and feedback from Missionary Couples.
• Be a valuable contributor to the Missionaries to the Family team.

The job is based in Houston, Texas, but we are willing to consider remote employment for the right person. This role reports to the Director of Mission Engagement. Employees work Monday-Friday with a typical workday of 8 hours. Some travel is required.

Working in ministry is a personal calling. Therefore, it is appropriate to spend time in prayer and discernment to see if God is calling you to work in this vineyard. Team members must embrace all the teachings of the Church and have a zeal for their Catholic faith and the opportunity to use their gifts and talents on behalf of the Lord.

Because we strive to bring about conversion and spiritual growth for those to whom we minister, it is fitting that employees at Paradisus Dei also desire to grow in personal holiness.

As Missionaries to the Family Program Coordinator, you must be able to work independently and as a part of the team. The ideal candidate has:

• Extensive experience in communication via email, text messaging, and posting online messages.
• A strong working knowledge of Google Workspace and digital online work environments.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Strong time management, planning, and organization skills. Have an ability to get things done.
• Effective interpersonal skills.
• An ability to work on multiple tasks simultaneously.

We aim to always practice what we preach as a ministry. There is nothing more detrimental to God’s work in ministry than the ‘spirit of the world’ entering into our team. Therefore, we aim to make the Christian virtues found in the beatitudes the foundation of our office culture.

Therefore, as an office, we strive to:

• Find more joy…
