Strong Families Make Children’s Lives Better

Saint Francis Ministries has always believed that strong families make children’s lives better – and that strong families start with healthy ones. Through Project HEART and our Fatherhood Program, adults and parents build practical skills to strengthen their marriages, co-parenting relationships, parenting confidence, and overall family well-being. Both programs are community-based and available online or in person across Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Texas.

Built on the legacy of our grant-funded Fatherhood FIRE initiative, our renewed Fatherhood Program strengthens fathers, supports healthy relationships, and empowers families. This for-free service provides practical tools, guided coaching, and relationship-focused education to help fathers parent with confidence and connection.

Project HEART is a grant-funded initiative for couples and individuals 18 and older that promotes healthy marriages, relationships, and parenting skills while supporting economic stability. Participants attend weekly two-hour workshop sessions, offered both in-person and virtually, covering Marriage and Relationship Education, Pre-Marital Education, Marriage Enhancement, Divorce Reduction, Marriage Mentoring, and strategies to reduce barriers to marriage – all alongside parenting skill development.

Relationships matter. That’s why HEART helps single and married adults grow closer and work together to build co-parenting skills and enhance their family’s well-being.

By growing together, parents, couples, and children can thrive together.
