Radiate Love
Bishops of California are dedicating the 2024-2025 pastoral year to helping the Catholic faithful renew and deepen our lived experience of the Sacrament of Marriage
WHAT IS RADIATE LOVE?
Jesus performed his first miracle at a wedding, turning water into fine wine, because he believes marriage is beautiful and worth celebrating. The love of husbands and wives images the love between Jesus and his Church, as both spouses are called to lay down their lives for the other and their children.
Under the title “Radiate Love,” the bishops of California invite every Catholic to celebrate the beauty and goodness of marriage and family. We invite all families to radiate their love to the world—parents, grandparents, children, spouses, sisters, and brothers. This initiative will include monthly reflections, prayers, videos, and other materials to help families become witnesses of God’s love.

What it means to ‘Radiate Love’ || Archbishop Gomez
One of the joys of being a priest or a bishop is celebrating weddings and the renewal of wedding vows of couples who have been married for many years. There can be a kind of radiance to these couples; it’s as if the love of God and the love of the husband and the wife is shining through them.

‘Radiate Love’: How California Catholics are celebrating marriage and family
California Catholic bishops are launching a yearlong initiative to celebrate and encourage marriage and families through educational resources and parish-based resources, citing attacks on marriage and the decline of faith in the Eucharist as the reasons behind the initiative.
