May 2020 Newsletter
Dear AFC Family,
Blessings to you and your loved ones as we approach the solemnity of the Ascension of Our Lord!
During this very difficult COVID-19 situation, here at Catholic Familyland®, our Catholic Corps and staff are praying daily for your family. We are here to support you. Please contact us at [email protected] with any prayer intentions. We would love to pray for you.
Our staff is working hard to prepare for the Holy Family Fest℠ season and also the Totus Tuus Family Conference℠ (October 9-11). Registration for our Holy Family Fests continues, and we have had some generous benefactors provide funding for any families that would like to come to a Holy Family Fest, but have been impacted by COVID-19 and need financial assistance. Please spread the word that these “Family to Family Gifts” are available, because we want as many families as possible to experience a life-changing encounter with Our Lord this year. READ MORE...
