Pope Saint John Paul II said, “The Holy Family is the prototype and example for all Christian families.”
Join fellow Catholic couples and families for the Second Annual Holy Family Celebration on Saturday, February 17 from 1:30pm to 6:30pm at the Saint John Paul II National Shrine. This half-day celebration will feature an inspiring talk for couples by nationally recognized writer and speaker Msgr. Charles Pope, Mass and Consecration to the Holy Family, and fun catechesis for children and teens. The day will conclude with a family style meal and entertainment. The cost of attendance is $15 per couple and $30 for a family of three or more, which includes a meal after Mass. To register, purchase tickets through Facebook or visit www.holyfamilycelebration.eventbrite.com.
