Summary/Abstract: The family is the smallest unit of both society and the Church. The Church lives and grows inside and through the family. The Church is seen as a community that announces the Gospel of Christ. The joyful news is spread thanks to the participation of every baptized in the triple mission of Christ (as Prophet, Priest, and King). The legislator recognizes this mission in can. 204 of the 1983 Code of Canon Law stating: “the Christian faithful are those who, inasmuch as they have been incorporated in Christ through baptism, have been constituted as the people of God. For this reason, made sharers in their own way in Christ’s priestly, prophetic, and royal function, they are called to exercise the mission which God has entrusted to the Church to fulfill in the world, in accord with the condition proper to each”.
