Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops and the Diocese of Calgary invites all the faithful to celebrate the joy and beauty of family and life during the National Family & Life Week, May 13-19. They have compiled a list of amazing resources from CCCB to help you make the most of this special week.
This year's theme, “Love hopes all things,” is inspired by the words of Saint Paul, the Apostle: “[Love] bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.” (1 Corinthians 13:7). This theme, linked to Amoris Laetitia, a discourse on love by Pope Francis, guides us towards hope, a theological virtue that renews our relationship with God and others.
The pastoral kit includes a message from the CCCB President, the NFLW2024 logo, a catechesis, prayer intentions and daily activities for families and parishes, graphics for social media campaigns and pastoral suggestions for a Mass for family and life.
Let's strengthen our family life! Families: please sign up to receive quick, short, and easy-to-do daily prayer and suggested activities for each day of the Family & Life Week (May 13-19). Together, let’s weave moments of connection, laughters, strengthen bonds, foster joy, and create cherished memories. Who knows, maybe your family will win the mystery prize - which will be announced on May 19!
