The 10th World Meeting of Families will be held at the end of the Amoris Laetitia Family Year, which marks the fifth anniversary of Amoris laetitia, Pope Francis’ apostolic exhortation on love in the family. The Year, which began on March 19, will last for 15 months, culminating with the gathering in Rome.
Pope John Paul II established the World Meeting of Families in 1994. It typically takes place every three years in a different country. The most recent meeting was held in Dublin, Ireland, in 2018.
The meeting is organized by the Dicastery for Laity, Family, and Life, together with the local diocese where it will take place.
Cardinal Kevin Farrell, the prefect of the family dicastery, said that “over the years, this important ecclesial appointment has observed an ever-increasing participation of families.”
“The thousands of people who have participated in the most recent editions, bringing enrichment with their languages, cultures, and experiences, have been an eloquent sign of the beauty of the family for the Church and for all humanity,” he said. “We need to continue on this path, seeking to involve more and more families in this beautiful initiative.”
