X World Meeting of Families
Celebrate and grow your family’s faith this summer
The X World Meeting of Families will be held in Rome for invited guests only June 22-26, 2022. In place of the public worldwide gathering, the Vatican is strongly encouraging that all dioceses celebrate the World Meeting by gathering families for a customized, local experience of formation, prayer, and fellowship. In the Diocese of Orange, families are invited to the following local events and programs to grow in “Family Love: A Vocation and a Path to Holiness."
Mental Health Ministry
May is Mental Health Awareness Month!
It’s a good time to check in on one’s self as well as to reach out to those who are struggling with mental health challenges. Check out our resources and ministry activities.
Foster Care
May is Foster Family Appreciation Month!
There are so many ways that members of our faith community can support foster families and children. Let’s pray for and reach out to families in crisis.
Getting married?
Marriage formation for engaged couples
The sacrament of marriage is not a social convention, an empty ritual or merely the outward sign of a commitment. The sacrament is a gift given for the sanctification and salvation of the spouses, since “their mutual belonging is a real representation, through the sacramental sign, of the same relationship between Christ and the Church. The married couple are therefore a permanent reminder for the Church of what took place on the cross; they are for one another and for their children witnesses of the salvation in which they share through the sacrament.”
