Conversations with the Families of St. John Paul II
Below is the archive of presentations given to the Families of St. John Paul II ministry. Each quarter, the families gather for a “half-day together” at which they share a meal, sing, and play games together. The day ends with a teaching for the adults, given by the parish priests, sisters, or others invited for the occasion. Please find the audio files for these teachings below.
According to “The Rule” of the Families of St. John Paul II, “The [half-day] teaching is the bread of the soul; it gives us nutrients to grow in our faith and our vocation.”
