This past weekend, as Saint John Paul II’s relic made its stop
in Philadelphia, Archbishop Charles Chaput announced that Saints John Paul II
and Gianna Beretta Molla will be the patron saints of the 2015 World Meeting of Families. He said:
Saints John Paul II and Gianna had a deep
and abiding commitment to strengthening the family and sustaining it with love.
This historic event will give thousands from around the globe the opportunity
to share in the same commitment of our Patron Saints.
The theme of the Meeting is “Love is our mission: the family
fully alive,” and many from across the globe are expected to travel to
Philadelphia for the event next September, including Pope Francis himself! Let us continue to pray as
preparations are being made, that “every family may generously make its own
contribution to the coming of his kingdom in the world.”
