Violence and Family Life - 30th Sunday in OT - October 27th, 2019

There is a connection between violence and family life.  Listen to my homily to learn more about it.

Pope St. John Paul II said, “The family is the first and vital cell of society… Healthy relationships in marriage and the family are of the greatest importance in the development and well-being of the human person… As the family goes, so goes the nation, and so goes the whole world in which we live.” (HOMILY OF JOHN PAUL II, Perth (Australia), 30 November 1986)
