Dear Friends,
The Family Life Department of the Diocese of Ogdensburg is in the process of “Growing the Vision” of family life in our diocese. This is indeed an exciting time. Today’s families are faced with many problems, but we feel this is an opportunity for us to work together to strengthen our family life.
To quote our Holy Father from Familiaris Consortio, “Family, become what your are! When we experience families becoming what they are meant to be, we truly experience the life of God.”
Family life is holy not because it is perfect...but because God’s Grace is at work in it… setting out a-new everyday on the way of love.
Let us work together to strengthen family life in our diocese.
