In 1990, a small group of families in Baltimore got together to support one another in Catholic home education. They wanted to strengthen each other in their common desire to provide both academic excellence as well as a solid foundation in the Catholic faith for their children.
Thus, Traditions Of Roman Catholic Homes, or TORCH, was formed.

Mission
TORCH is an international association of lay faithful established to promote homeschooling among Catholic families and to support those families who are engaged in providing their children's primary education at home.
"Since parents have conferred life on their children, they have a most solemn obligation to educate their offspring. Hence, parents must be acknowledged as the first and foremost educators of their children. Their role as educators is so decisive that scarcely anything can compensate for their failure in it." (Gravissimum Educationis #3)
