How to get Involved with “Celebrate Catholic Family Life”
The Office of Marriage & Family Life at the Diocese of Oakland invites you to participate in “Celebrate Catholic Family Life”.
What is “Celebrate Catholic Family Life”?
It is a week+ (September 24-October 2, 2022) of events and activities hosted by parishes, ministries & schools to unite our families and diocese in faith and fun.
Why are we gathering in this way?
This is a response both to our Synod listening sessions which asked for more opportunities to learn and gather and the call of Pope Francis to have our own diocesan "Meeting of Families".
How can your parish, ministry or school participate?
-
Brainstorm an Event (or use one already scheduled) which works best for your community, choosing from one or all pillars: formation - prayer - service - social
-
Pick a Day from Sept 24 - Oct 2.
-
Register your event online https://oakdiocese.org/ccfl or via phone call to Andrea (in English/Spanish) 510-619-4562.
-
Invite and Start Organizing! You will be responsible for the organization of the event/activity but have access to the week’s media and resources. You can also have your own personalized banner made (we are happy to show you our examples).
How can your family participate?
Write in “CCFL” in your calendars and keep an eye out for events your family would enjoy attending! More info can be found on the website and please sign-up to receive email updates.
We will Promote your Event so others in your ordinary reach and BEYOND have the opportunity to participate (by registration or drop in).
United in prayer for families,
Andrea Walle (Spanish/ English)
