Helping love take root

Parishes across the Archdiocese of Sydney celebrated Life, Marriage and Family Sunday for the first time on Sunday, 18 October. The annual day, which honors marriage and family life, was brought directly to local communities where couples live and worship.

At Good Shepherd Parish in Hoxton Park, the event coincided with the final session of a marriage enrichment series titled Knot so Ordinary Date, led by Reg and Cynthia Argana. The Life, Marriage and Family team from the Sydney Centre for Evangelisation supported the parish celebration. Fourteen couples attended the session, many from the south western Sydney area.
