OCTOBER – MARRIAGE MONTH
Scripture and the Church’s history give us many examples of the great impact when a whole community undertakes prayer and fasting together.
Join us for a month of prayer and fasting to be held in parishes, schools and homes across the nation during the month of October 2016.
We hope that in this time of national conversation on the subject of marriage we can encourage all to pray for the well-being of marriages and families, and in a particular way for people who are same-sex attracted or gender questioning. We also pray for a respectful national discussion on marriage. acmfc.org.au – Australian Catholic Marriage & Family Council.
