A few days ago, the delegate of our Dicastery, Msgr. Carlos Simon, attended a meeting in Madrid, at the headquarters of the Spanish Bishops' Conference. The focus of this encounter, attended by Family Ministry Delegates from throughout Spain, was the upcoming World Meeting of Families.

“Families are called to engage in evangelization so that their parish communities, which in turn are composed of families, may be transfigured by the joy of love. In this way—said the delegate— the family will extend its range of action and the family style will illuminate the life of society and of the Church.”
