Bishop Eugene Hurley, Chairman of the Australian Catholic Bishops Commission for Pastoral Life says on the website www.sharethedream.org.au
I am delighted to invite Catholic families throughout Australia to participate in this National Catholic Family Gathering.
Share the Dream echoes the call of the late Pope John Paul II to families – to become what you are – the communities of life and love which make the presence of our Lord real to those around us.
God himself affirmed the importance of the family. Born into a human family, Jesus lived the greater proportion of his life among us following the universal path from childhood into the daily routine of home and work as he “grew in wisdom and stature” (Lk 2:52). So we are reminded that it is through the family that the natural bonds of God’s own love hold firm that foundation upon which our society depends.
The Marriage and Family Council together with the Melbourne Life, Marriage and Family Office have brought together an inspiring line up of speakers and interactive workshops to help participants to reflect on family life, gain new skills, and be encouraged in living family life.
Please come and join this celebration of family life.
