The Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB) warmly invites the Catholic faithful to celebrate National Family and Life Week 2024 (NFLW), which happens from May 13-19, 2024.
This year’s theme, “Love hopes all things,” is inspired by the words of Saint Paul: “[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 CCCB has developed are resources page on their website with prayers, suggested activities, and catechetical resources for this week that the faithful may wish to use as a family and/or as a parish. Each day of National Family and Life Week 2024 is built around specific themes, proposing prayers and activities adapted to different ages, cultures and circumstances. The resources can be found on CCCB website by clicking here or visiting www.cccb.ca They are available in both English and French.
May this be a time to invite the Holy Spirit to accompany and celebrate all families!
