One of the urgent concerns of the Holy Father is the pastoral care for the family. Through his preaching and his Apostolic Exhortation, Amoris Laetitia, Pope Francis is telling the Church and the world that the family is a key priority in his pontificate. In an insightful way, he is guiding the Church to both preserve and nurture the spiritual health of the family. We therefore want to reflect on and apply his pastoral approach of love and understanding of the contemporary family in our own ministry. The Holy Father is raising the consciousness of the People of God that the life of the Church and the moral good of society certainly rest on the integrity of the family. From the earliest times, the family was called the Domestic Church since it was the nerve center and springboard of the first Christians. The New Evangelization, as it faces formidable challenges regarding proper understanding of marriage and family, looks to Christ’s vision of the Christian home. Through catechesis, pastoral discernment and affectionate accompaniment, the Holy Father wants his priests to build up the families entrusted to them. As a way of gathering insights and experiences in serving the families of our parishes, we invite you to explore the contents and applications of Amoris Laetitia. Given its broad scope, knowledgeable speakers will share their insights and perspectives on how to integrate it into our priestly ministry. We welcome everyone’s input on such an important matter.
