Workshop B, Prof Ron and Dr Mavis Pirola
THROUGH MARRIAGE
The family, in all its ‘messiness’ … is a major force for evangelisation in the Church
and society. At the heart of the family is the married couple. The witness of
their sacramental relationship is key to this mission of the family. Yet marriage
is under-utilised as a resource and there is an urgent need to build a marriage
culture within parishes. Ron & Mavis bring their extensive experience in parishbased
initiatives to discuss practical ways in which couples and families can be
empowered to re-energise parish life.
