Greetings Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ! With great joy do we anticipate the first visit of Pope Francis to the United States in September 2015.
Most will join through prayer and participate as spectators via broadcast and social media. Yet, why not amp up this historic experience by using the catechesis on family life (see item #1, below) in our parishes, dioceses and faith formation groups. Also, check out more exciting events coming soon and other good news worth sharing with your networks.
