Dear, John

Happy World Marriage Day! Over the last two years, the National Eucharistic Revival has given Catholics a deeper appreciation for this sacramental gift of our Lord. Embracing the grace of the Revival in our families and communities, the bishops of California are dedicating the 2024-2025 pastoral year to deepen our appreciation of the Sacrament of Marriage –modeled on the irrevocable covenantal love of God for his people expressed in the Eucharist.

Under the title “Radiate Love,” every Catholic community is invited to participate in this initiative, starting TODAY on World Marriage Day – when God calls couples all over the globe to invest in their relationships and let that love radiate out to their family and to the world. This soft launch of the initiative will be followed by monthly reflections, prayers, and other materials to help form the faith of Catholics of all ages, beginning in July 2024.

View and reflect alongside Archbishop Cordileone and Bishop Soto as they share their message for this year's World Marriage Day celebration and the Radiate Love initiative.
