International Families Day – something to celebrate!

Catholic Welfare Australia is calling on all its Member Organisations to stop at 11:00am on Thursday, 15 May and do something special to celebrate the International Day of Families.

The work of the Catholic Welfare Australia’s 53 Member Organisations is clearly committed to providing support and services to families throughout Australia.

The National Secretariat of Catholic Welfare Australia has prepared a Resource Paper, International Day of Families 2003 Something to Celebrate, suggesting a number of ways in which Member Organisations can mark the occasion. The ideas are all simple but do promote a focus on families ranging from morning tea with a multicultural flavour, a suggested reflection and discussion questions to invigorate a dynamic discussion on family life.

It would be hoped that Member Organisations could also seek the involvement of the families for whom they provide support and commitment.

The Resource Paper is now available on the Catholic Welfare Australia website.
