Our Story
Founded by Cary and Angie Bryson, the mission grew from their own journey of encountering Jesus through adventure, family life, and community, and the desire to help others do the same.
What began as a shared vision to reconnect families to faith has become a mission of renewal. From leading small retreats to creating spaces for encounter and rest, the Vine Catholic Family Ministries continues to grow — branch by branch — in trust, grace, and community.
our Roots
Based in Lafayette, Louisiana, the Bryson Family Foundation is deeply shaped by its Cajun roots: a culture built on faith, family, tradition, and gathering around the table.
While our home is in South Louisiana, our mission reaches far beyond it. We host retreats and events wherever families are called to grow, encounter Christ, and walk together on their pilgrimage to heaven.
