CCCB REPORT:
The Catholic Organization for Life and Family (COLF) has published its 2012 Message to families entitled, "The Gospel of Everyday Life: An adventure worth sharing!" The new publication focuses on families called to embrace the New Evangelization.
On the occasion of the Synod of Bishops on the New Evangelization, COLF hopes to help families to discover more deeply the gift of faith and get actively involved in the mission of the New Evangelization. “Many questions immediately arise – together with astonishment and a measure of nervousness – when one hears that the family is one of the most effective agents of evangelization” the Message states. In 1994, during the World Meeting of Families, Blessed John Paul II said: “In the Church and in society, now is the hour of the family. Families are called to play a primary role in the task of the new evangelization.”
An initiative of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops, COLF is co-sponsored by the Conference and the Supreme Council of the Knights of Columbus. It promotes respect for human life and dignity, and the essential role of the family.
Printed copies of the 2012 Message to Families can be ordered from www.colf.ca or by phoning 613-241-9461, extension 161.
