More than 110 people have already registered for the First Annual Family Life Conference, set for Saturday, March 25 at Cathedral High School in Manhattan, organized by the Archdiocese of New York’s Office of Family Life.

The event is designed for all clergy, ministers, and parishioners interested in exploring pastoral ways to support family faith formation.

A discounted price is available for parishes with six or more participants. For more information, visit our website: www.archny.org/family-life, or contact Jeanne Travis, 646-794-3181.
The Office of Family Life covers preparations and accompaniment for married couples; educating, forming, supporting, and strengthening families; building and promoting a culture of life; and providing healing and comfort to those struggling with loss, grief, or brokenness.
Specifically, the office finds its foundation in the four pillars of marriage and family life found in the United States Conference of Bishops document Called to the Joy of Love: The National Pastoral Framework for Marriage and Family Life Ministry. Those pillars are prayer and relationship with Christ; formation; accompaniment, and advocacy.
More information on the Office of Family Life’s offerings and an updated calendar of events is available on its website.
