Archbishop Vigneron has challenged families to reclaim the sacrament of reconciliation as a lived reality in our homes: healing wounds and brokenness, in our families through sacrifice, forgiveness, mercy, and love.

As parents, we need to be the primary witnesses of faith to our family. This means that every family embraces its role as the domestic church.

They bear witness to the responsibility first by creating a home where tenderness, forgiveness, respect, fidelity, and disinterested service are the rule.” (No. 2223)

Archbishop Vigneron is calling us to commit to forming our families in the love and power of sacred Scripture by placing it at the center of our family life.
