NATIONAL FAMILY AND LIFE WEEK


A message to all Catholic families: National Family and Life Week
(NFLW) this year will take place from 13th May to 19th May 2024.
The theme for this year is “Love hopes all things,” which is taken
from Saint Paul’s hymn on love in 1 Corinthians 13.7: “[Love] bears
all things, believes all things, hopes all things,
endures all things.” This description of love is also at the heart of Pope Francis’s reflection on the dynamics of
spousal and family love in the Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation Amoris Laetitia, chapter 4. Through this
theme, families are encouraged to cultivate, deepen, and renew Christian hope by drawing on scriptural
reflection, family prayer, and the Sacraments. The CCCB Standing Committee for Family and Life and its
corresponding Office have developed a pastoral toolkit specifically designed for the “domestic church.” Each
day of the NFLW 2024 celebrates a specific theme, accompanied by prayers and activities for different ages,
cultures, and circumstances. The toolkit includes: the logo for the 2024 National Family and Life Week;
catechesis; prayer intentions and daily activities for families and parishes; graphic resources with quotes on
Christian hope for daily social media campaigns; as well as pastoral suggestions for a Mass to celebrate
Family and Life. Dioceses/Eparchies, parishes, and Catholic movements and associations are encouraged to
make good use of the pastoral toolkit in their own planning of activities to mark this Week, which concludes
on Pentecost. May the Holy Spirit lead us into a “Love [that] hopes all things” during this Week. May our
thoughts, words, and actions be inspired by the same Spirit, and may God hear the prayers of our Catholic
families and grant them the hope that only He can give.
—The Most Rev. William T. McGrattan, Bishop of Calgary

national board of directors composed of leaders, half of whom are Indigenous. This Board is responsible for
implementing measures to ensure the proper functioning and transparency of the administration of the
collected funds. I am pleased to inform you that the funds collected in our parishes last year will be used for
local projects in collaboration with our four local Mi’gmaq communities: Elsipogtog First Nation, Bouctouche
MicMac, Fort Folly First Nation, and Indian Island First Nation. Special envelopes will be distributed to
parishes for this year's collection, which will take place on May 11th and 12th, 2024. I invite you to continue to
