Over the next ten years, it will improve marriage preparation, spiritual support for married couples, help heal troubled relationships, and promote responsible parenting.
It will also encourage the spiritual growth of families and care for vulnerable members, enabling families to become strong witnesses of love, unity, and faith in the Church and society.
