For the past month, we have been hosting pre-lobby trainings around the state to help prepare MA citizens for our Annual Pro-Family Lobby Day! Now, we’re only two weeks away, and we’re excited to help mobilize you to be a voice for the family here in the Commonwealth. Please join us for Pro-Family Lobby Day Wednesday, March 8th from […]
The pro-family movement experienced two great losses this past week: Friday, February 17, renowned Catholic intellect and prolific author Michael Novak passed away. I had the pleasure of meeting him just last spring, when he spoke at a small event for friends of MFI. He was gracious and had a rich sense of humor. He was also […]
I am happy to report that on Wednesday, the federal Departments of Justice and Education repealed the Obama era policy mandating public schools to force students into the humiliating situation of sharing showers, restrooms and locker rooms with members of the opposite sex. This repeal is a victory for common sense and for the privacy […]
Massachusetts Family Institute celebrated 25 years of serving Massachusetts families last year, and we are thrilled to continue being a voice for your family in year 26. Every October, we invite friends of MFI to our annual fundraising banquet to hear from a dynamic pro-family speaker and enjoy wonderful food and fellowship. MFI is excited […]
I have to admit, the “counterprotesters” at Saturday’s Defund Planned Parenthood rally in Boston were rather irritating, with their pink knit hats and loud snarky chants. Apparently, I wasn’t the only one who thought so, since the police made them stop using their bull-horn.

Here at MFI, we fully believe that healthy families build a healthy society, and the root of healthy families are healthy marriages. All this week until […]
As recent challenges to our religious liberty here in MA have shown, people of faith need protection from hostile government bureaucrats and activist judges. Therefore, I am grateful that President Trump has promised to protect our Constitutional freedom of religion. Now is our chance to hold him to that promise! Yesterday, we at Massachusetts Family Institute, […]
“Radical feminists” typically differ from pro-family advocates on many issues. So, why are the Women’s Liberation Front (WoLF), a self-described radical feminist group, and the Family Policy Alliance (FPA), MFI’s national public policy affiliate, teaming up? Because they both recognize that preserving women’s safety in private spaces is critically important (as well as common sense). This week, […]
A dynamic, hands-on leadership school for Christian students, TeenPact’s mission is to train youth to understand the political process, value their liberty, defend their Christian faith and engage the culture at a time in their lives when, typically, they do not care about such things. At TeenPact, we believe that God gives every young person […]
