Marriage and family outreach movements with international aspects have been urged to promote next year’s World Meeting of Families.
Speaking at a gathering of 17 groups convened by the Irish Bishops’ Conference’s Council for Marriage and the Family, Fr Tim Bartlett, Secretary General of the World Meeting of Families 2018, thanked the assembled representatives and urged them to rise up to the responsibility Pope Francis has given to the Irish Church.
Fr Bartlett encouraged the groups to use their organisations, many of which are globally linked, to push the international event, including by sending links to the meeting’s official video. He urged them to continue their own initiatives. “If you have ideas you want to run with – please run with them and keep us informed,” he said, continuing, “we will try to share your events through our website and others may be inspired by your ideas.”
