TORCH was established in 1990 as an association of lay faithful to promote homeschooling among Catholic families and to support those families who educate their children in the home. TORCH events give homeschooled children opportunities to be with their peers in an atmosphere of devotion to Our Blessed Mother, where saints are heroes and Christian virtues are espoused. TORCH families gather to celebrate the Church's rich heritage-First Friday Mass, Eucharistic Adoration, saints' feast days, and other traditions. There are endless opportunities for wholesome socialization and character development with each TORCH chapter's extra-curricular clubs, teen dances, saint activities, and much more. Parents also get together for monthly Homeschooling Forums and Parents' Nights Out to discuss curriculum ideas and for fellowship. In addition, TORCH connects families with local affiliated homeschool chapters around the United States and Canada and guides leaders in the creation of new chapters with a shared mission, philosophy, and vision.

TORCH currently consists of 45 chapters in 19 states. TORCH also has a "Virtual" Chapter which allows families to benefit from TORCH membership even when not physically close to an established chapter.
