NEWS FROM THE DIOCESAN SERVICES - May 7, 2024

The 2024 celebration of National Family and Life Week draws its theme, "Love hopes all things," from the words of St. Paul: "[Love] endures all things, trusts all things, hopes all things, endures all things." (1 Corinthians 13:7).

The CCCB Standing Committee for Family and Life and its corresponding Office have prepared a pastoral toolkit to support dioceses, eparchies, parishes, families, schools and other related movements and associations in promoting National Family and Life Week (NFLW) from 13 to 19 May 2024.

In his video message for the annual campaign to support parishes (tithing), Bishop Paul-André Durocher reminds us how parishes are vibrant and dynamic, as well as places where the wealth, talents and gifts of all can be shared. "Following Jesus' example, everyone can make a difference in their community by sharing their time, talents and treasures." 
Under the theme For my parish...with all my heart, Sharing our gifts, the campaign runs throughout the spring, with a reminder in the fall. This campaign, which has been supported by promotional tools since the 1990s, is of great importance in the donations that parishes receive to enable them to pursue their mission at the heart of the Outaouais population. To make a donation to any of the 57 parishes in the diocese, you can use the online donation platform on the Archdiocese of Gatineau website. 
Joyfully, let's share our gifts. Thank you for your support!
