Some bishops have proclaimed 2009 the Year of the Family—a diocesan-wide celebration of Catholic family life.
Loyola Press has gathered free resources to help your diocese recognize this special year. Feel free to use any of the resources below at special events, in your bulletin, or on your Web site.
More family resources are available in the Family section of our Web site, including activities for children and teens, ideas for celebrating holidays and special occasions, and tips for incorporating fun into family faith life.
