SJE Marriage-Building Parish Initiative: Praying for Marriage with Kirk Cameron (video)

About the Initiative

In the National Pastoral Initiative for Marriage, the U.S. Catholic bishops call attention to the meaning and value of married life for the Church and for society. Bringing Catholic belief into dialogue with contemporary needs, the bishops urge the Catholic Church to become a community of hope and help for marriages and to join others in building a culture of marriage.

St. John the Evangelist will designate July 2012 to June 2013 as our inaugural year to become a Marriage-Building Parish. The initiative has been established as a means of carrying out the November 2009 USCCB pastoral letter Marriage: Love & Life in the Divine Plan.

As the family is the primary setting for the transmission of faith, the Marriage-Building Parish Initiative will be tied closely to the Year of Faith (October 2012 – November 2013). Fostering a commitment to reading and understanding the richness of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, with an emphasis on the Creed, across all age groups and in the home will be the primary link between the two initiatives.
