Promoting the Catholic vision of the family as “the Domestic Church” and a “school of holiness.”

-
Empowering families to share their faith in the home, parish, workplace and in the community.
World Meeting of Families
The 10th World Meeting of Families, as announced in a video message by Pope Francis, will be held in a “polycentric and widespread” format and will have different features than meetings in previous years. However, the event, already postponed one year due to the Covid-19 pandemic, cannot ignore the different global situation caused by this healthcare emergency.
