The article attempts to answer the question: what does evangelization mean regarding the family. In the first part of the article the duty of evangelization as an intrinsic property of the Church is considered. The second part shows how the family fulfills its prophetic task. The family performs this through accepting and proclaiming the „Word of God”. The distinctness of family service results from its identity (agere sequitur esse): everything has a feature of a community and everyday reality is specified through way of life, that is through life and love. The family as a community of life and love performs its mission by building civilization of life and love. Its characteristic features of influence results in a service that is readible to everyone, regardless country and nationality. Due to this universality the future of evangelization depends on a great extent in the domestic church.
