2) The Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops has released “Called to Witness and Proclaim: A Pastoral Letter on Evangelization and Catechesis in the Family”.  Framed around the story of Jesus healing the daughter of Jairus, the bishops hope that this letter will give families support and encouragement.  To read the letter, please visit https://www.cccb.ca/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Called-to-Witness-EN-2024-09-09-FINAL.pdf
