Dear Brothers & Sisters in Christ,
It is with great pleasure and anticipation that we, the Archdiocesan Family Life Commission, send to you a copy of a document ‘Catholic Family; Become what you are’ for your use during this year 2010. Our hope is that every parish, church group or organization, commission and family will utilize this document as an important resource this year in meeting the call ‘Catholic Family: Become what you are’.
