Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
The family is the domestic church and the foundation of society. It is where future generations are born, educated, and formed, and where vocations to the priesthood and religious life most often take root. So, how can we help our families grow in holiness and happiness?
Beginning this September, I invite you to join me in a Year of the Family.
This new weekly catechetical series, introduced by me, will feature short films showcasing families from across the Diocese of Lansing. Each family will share how they are striving to live the Catholic faith more fully in their daily lives. Throughout the year, the series will explore family prayer, education, liturgical living, hospitality, discipline, and works of charity.
My sincere prayer is that the Year of the Family will encourage and inspire our families to live in ever greater harmony with God and with one another.
To sign up, simply text YOTF to 84576 or subscribe by email.
I am, sincerely yours in Christ,
+ Earl Boyea
Bishop of Lansing
