A Family Perspec�����

�From the Family Life Educa�on Office~�

� ����������������� ��

�

The apostles were afraid of Jesus until he ate with them and they touched him. In your family, the ordinary acts of eating together, touching, embracing not only confirm our love for each other, but also celebrate God’s presence in your family. These “ordinary” moments contain the “Extraordinary.”

Year of the Family

As we journey through the jubilant and hope-

filled season of Easter, Bishop Cunningham

offers four practical, powerful, and effective

ways to form a domestic church within our own

families: prayer and worship, formation,

community, and service. To learn more, we

invite you to visit syracusediocese.org and click

on YEAR OF THE FAMILY.

May the Holy Family of

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph be

your patrons during this

special year and together

in our parish communities,

may we come to know our

true vocation.
