10th World Meeting of Families
23 – 26 June 2022
We hope that you and your parishioners would join us at this event. It is the desire of the Holy Father to have multi-centred, diocese led events and activities to facilitate and encourage participation from all Catholics in this world meeting. It will be part of the current synodal journey of the Church, where a global gathering can prove to be a valuable experience of participation, communion, and mission for families.
The programme of the WMOF SG enables attendees to view the various conferences in Rome, whilst participating in localized panel discussions on these same topics. The theme – Family Love: A Vocation and A Path to Holiness, hopes that attendees will leave with insight and information that empowers them to strengthen relationships within their families, and bear witness to the importance of marriage and family to all of society.
Registration can also be via the website – https://www.familylife.sg/WMOF
6 – 8 May 2022
1 – 3 July 2022
Let us, as one Church, journey together to listen to each other’s faith experiences, joys and challenges. We invite all Catholics to join in the Synod conversations. Come together in small groups of 2 to 5 people to PRAY, REFLECT, SHARE and LISTEN to what God’s will might be for the Church going forward. Find the conversation topics, starter questions, the steps to do this conversation and access to the submission form on www.catholic.sg/synod May the Holy Spirit be with all of you as you begin your conversations.

Also on audiobook is Nostra Aetate, the ever relevant Vatican II document on our relationship with other religions. Both available on Audible, and wherever great books are heard! Soon also on Spotify and Apple Music.
