National Family Week celebrated across Brazil

The National Family Week is being observed across Brazil, serving as a period for prayer, community gathering, and the celebration of family life. In the Diocese of Novo Hamburgo, parishes and religious movements are encouraged to participate through prayer and shared activities, documenting their celebrations on social media to highlight the diversity of local communities.

Aligned with the Vocation Month, the observance emphasizes the vocation of marriage and family life. Religious leaders, including Archbishop Dom Leomar Antônio Brustolin, highlight the family as a fundamental school of faith and humanity. Drawing on Pope Francis’s teachings in 'Amoris Laetitia', the observance underscores that family strength contributes to broader social solidarity and the care of the vulnerable.
