This entrustment to the Holy Family of Nazareth will send a much needed message to the community that family life is something precious to be nurtured and protected, enabling its members to be secure and to flourish; and that the apostolate for marriage and family conducted from the Shrine of the Holy Family will have a broad influence to uphold the integrity of Christian marriage and family life.
It is hoped the apostolate for marriage and family conducted from the Shrine of the Holy Family will promote a full Catholic vision of the theology and practice of marriage and stimulate strong Christian family life in the community.
