Current Issues

“Knowing that marriage and the family constitute one of the most precious of human values, the Church wishes to speak and offer her help to those who are already aware of the value of marriage and the family and seek to live it faithfully, to those who are uncertain and anxious and searching for the truth, and to those who are unjustly impeded from living freely their family lives”.
 

(John Paul II, Familiaris Consortio, 1)

Archdiocesan Family and Life Network

The Marriage and Family Office and the Life Office of the Archdiocese of Sydney are sponsoring the establishment of an Archdiocesan Family and Life Network. One aim of this organisation will be to enable nominated members from all parishes to share their collective insights with respect to marriage and family issues. In addition, we hope to facilitate a deeper formation with respect to Church teaching in related areas and to work collectively to promote life, marriage and family within the Church and the wider society. Please approach your parish priest if you are interested in being involved in this important initiative.

The next gathering of the Archdiocesan Family and Life Network will be held at Catholic Adult Education Centre,
3 Keating St, Lidcombe on 26 August 2008. Please email mary.joseph@sydney.catholic.org.au or call 9390 5283 if you are interested in attending this or any future gatherings. <<Download flyer>>
Meeting Dates for 2008 are: 26 August and 25 November.
