Archbishop Chaput unveals Catechism and Offical Prayer in Rome

With a year away from the World Meeting of Families, Archbishop Chaput visits the Vatican to unveil the prayer, icon, and catechism of the Eighth World Meeting of Families.

"I am greatly pleased to share these important preparatory materials for the World Meeting of Families with the Pontifical Council for the Family and the world,” said Archbishop Chaput. “It is my deepest hope that not only Catholics but all people of good will might connect to our theme through reading, discussion, prayer and reflection based on these preparatory materials.”

The preparatory catechesis helps address issues facing families today. The official prayer is meant to aid delegates around the world in their spiritual preparation for the event. It is available in 18 languages. The four-by-five-foot canvas is a work of sacred art meant to encourage reflection and prayer.
