Archbishop Joseph Kurtz of Louisville, the President of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (www.usccb.org), has joined Pope Francis and the Office for the Synod of Bishops in calling for a universal day of prayer, on September 28, for the upcoming Synod on the Family.
This extraordinary Synod will take place on October 5-19 at the Vatican.
Archbishop Kurtz, the head of the Archdiocese of Louisville, Ky., has called the meeting in Rome “an important moment for the church and for families.”
