9. ACBC St Valentine’s Day initiative
The Australian Catholic Marriage & Family Council is pleased to
offer you the 2016 edition of the St Valentine’s Day initiative please click here to access it. This initiative is part of the Council’s
ongoing desire to use the innate joyfulness of the feast of St
Valentine to promote and affirm marriage and life-long romantic
love.
In a culture that is increasingly intolerant of Christian values and
beliefs, feasts that have captured the imagination of the secular
community, like St Valentine’s Day, represent a unique
opportunity for the Church. It is an opportunity for joyful support
for deeply held life-giving values that are shared by many in the
wider community. In doing so, we highlight the positive good that
such values have and reinforce the need to protect them for the
benefit of the whole community.
10. Divine Renovation Conference

Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada and experience this first hand. On
