The bishops of California invite every Catholic to celebrate the beauty and goodness of marriage and family. We invite all families to radiate their love to the world—parents, grandparents, children, spouses, sisters, and brothers. This initiative kicked-off on July 1, 2024, and includes monthly reflections, prayers, videos, and other materials to help families become witnesses of God’s love.

"The family remains the basic unit of society and the first school in which children learn the human, spiritual and moral values which enable them to be a beacon of goodness, integrity and justice in our communities."

- Pope Francis I

"The future of the world and the Church passes through the family.... the family is the first and fundamental school of social living:  as a community of love."

- St. Pope John Paul II
