Reclaiming the Catholic home with Mike Hernon | Messy Family Project

What does it take to heal a broken culture? The answer starts right inside your own home. In this powerful interview, Charbel Raish sits down with Mike Hernon, co-founder of the Messy Family Project, during his speaking tour in Australia. Mike shares his incredible personal journey—from growing up in a broken home to marrying his wife, Alicia, and raising 10 children and welcoming 10 grandchildren. Together, they dive into why a thriving marriage is the true foundation of a faithful family, the irreplaceable impact of an engaged father, and how Catholic couples can reclaim their homes for Christ. If you’ve ever felt isolated, overwhelmed, or like you’re failing at family life, this conversation is the encouragement and wake-up call you need. It doesn't take a perfect family to raise holy children; it takes a willingness to show up, embrace the mess, and lean into the grace of the Sacraments.
