The main purpose of the list is to plan and discuss events but also to offer and receive help, support, friendship and information.

**MISSION STATEMENT**

As a support group for Roman Catholic homeschoolers, the mission of HFHG is to promote homeschooling among Catholic families and to support those families who are engaged in providing their children’s education at home.
HFHG's activities and functions are founded on fidelity to the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church, including its Bishops in union with Rome. We endeavor to love and grow in our Catholic Faith with the support of our fellow members.

The goals of HFHG are:

1)To strengthen our Catholic families.
2)To promote and encourage Catholic values.
3)To foster Catholic vocations.
4)To teach the traditions and history of the Roman Catholic Church.
5)To promote devotion to the Blessed Mother.
6)To provide opportunities for fellowship among our children.

"Since parents have given children their life, they are bound by the most serious obligation to educate their offspring and therefore must be recognized as the primary and principal educators. This role in education is so important that only with difficulty can it be supplied where it is lacking."
