Ahead of the National Week for Life and the Family, the President of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB) has reminded that, as a domestic Church, all Christian families are called to proclaim joyfully the good news of salvation, in spite of their human weaknesses.
The theme of the Week
The event is celebrated by Church in Canada annually to encourage families to live the Gospel of life and family and includes a March for life in Ottawa. This years’ week will be commemorated from May 9 to May 16, with the theme, “Family, the Domestic Church: A Sign of Hope and Life”
