SotF #6 – Holy Family: The Apostolate of the Christian Family (Jim Anderson)

PLEASE NOTE DATE CHANGE (was advertised as Apr. 24 – 29)
“As the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live.” Blessed Pope John Paul II

The family has been described as the “fundamental building block of society.” This conference will provide an introduction to the Catholic Church’s teaching on the dignity and nature of the Christian family, and the Christian family’s irreplaceable role, responsibility, and mission in the modern world. Conference participants will reflect with particular attention on the Apostolic Exhortation of Blessed John Paul II, Familiaris Consortio. Conference participants will come to a deeper understanding and appreciation of the vocation to marriage and family life in this time of the New Evangelization and the Springtime of the Faith.
