We celebrate the first anniversary of the Diocesan Centre for Marriage, Life and the Family created in January 2018 to strengthen family life and better serve its needs. Here is a partial assessment of a pretty full year.

The four-day Meeting for the Protection of Minors concluded with an address by Pope Francis, but the work of ever more effectively combatting the phenomenon of abuse doesn’t end.

The Catholic Church should not be afraid of crisis; through crisis, it will grow and spring new life, said Dominican Father Timothy Radcliffe.

The four-day “Protection of Minors in the Church” Meeting, being held in the Vatican from February 21 to 24, will offer new opportunities to raise awareness, listen to victims, and address responsibility, accountability, and transparency.

“The abuse of children is wrong anywhere and anytime: this point is not negotiable.” This is what the leaders of men and women religious of the world have declared ahead of the “Meeting on the Protection of Minors” in the Vatican, Feb. 21-24.
