Following in the footsteps of Venerable Patrick Peyton—a pioneer in using mass media to strengthen families—PPIFA develops culturally relevant, theologically grounded content to reach families across Africa.
A legacy of media ministry
Venerable Patrick Peyton, CSC, understood the power of media to shape culture. He pioneered the use of radio, television, and film to bring the message of family prayer and family unity into homes across the world.
At PPIFA, we continue that legacy. We believe that families are formed and strengthened by the stories they hear, the images they see, and the messages they consume. Our media ministry produces content that uplifts, educates, and inspires families across the African continent.
From digital resources to broadcast programs, from printed publications to social media campaigns, our goal is to bring the timeless values of faith, family, and hope to every African household.
"The family that prays together stays together. If families pray together, they will stay together, and if families stay together, the world will be a better place."
