“The future of humanity passes by way of the family” (Pope John Paul II, The Role of the Christian Family in the Modern World, no. 86).

 Homily from the Mass celebrated by Bishop Dougherty
on the Occasion of the 40th Anniversary of Humanae Vitae

“The family and the Church, specifically the parishes and the other forms of ecclesial community, are called to the most profound collaboration in that fundamental task that is constituted, inseparably, by the formation of the person and the transmission of the faith. We know well that for an authentic educational endeavor to take place, it is not

enough to communicate a correct theory or doctrine. Something far greater and more human
is needed—that closeness, lived daily, which is proper to love and that finds its most
propitious space above all in the family community, and afterwards in a parish or movement
or ecclesial association. . .” (Pope Benedict XVI, Address to the Congress of the Diocese of Rome, June 6, 2005).
