Radiate Love, a New Initiative Launching July 1, 2024

The Bishops of California have been working with the California Catholic Conference staff and our own diocesan staff to launch RADIATE LOVE, an initiative to promote marriage and family life to support our people and curb the divorce and plummeting birth rates in California. It will begin July 1, 2024-June 30, 2025, and include a summit to see how clergy and marriage and family life ministry leaders can further this initiative. Indeed, our own Catholic Family Life Association will be hosting its annual Conference in September in San Diego and hope to stimulate deeper discussions with clergy and family life advocates.

Parish resources are already available here.

Additionally, a parish can sign up for ongoing updates as they are made available. July Parish Guides are available now in English and Spanish. On this same resource page, there are several free digital resources that can be used during the month and year.

Please join us in prayer and action to support this important initiative and reclaim California for Christ. We will have a page on our own Diocesan website soon.
