We warmly invite all CLC members to join us in celebrating World CLC Day on 21st March, from 10:30am to 4:00pm. This will be a hybrid event (online and in person), marking the 10th anniversary of Pope Francis’s Apostolic Exhortation Amoris Laetitia.

Regional gatherings have been confirmed in:

· London and South East – FCJ House, 32 Phoenix Rd, London NW1 1TA
· Midlands – St Peter’s Church Hall, Dormer Place, Leamington Spa, CV32 5AA

Additional locations may still be added. You are welcome to simply turn up at any of the in‑person gatherings. You may also choose to join as a local group—or individually—via Zoom.

You are welcome to take part in all or part of the day.

If you would like to join us, please register here: https://forms.gle/P2zhq6Ut7TgLzzEM7 A Zoom link will be sent to you before the event. Please note a Zoom link will only be sent to those who have registered.

In preparation for the day, we ask three things:

1) Take some time to read and pray with the latestHorizons document, which will form the basis of the day’s reflections:
https://clcew.org.uk/document/world-clc-horizontes-186-nov-2025/

2) If you are willing, please share a photo, a few words, a drawing, a symbol, or a short video or voice clip (maximum 60 seconds) responding to the question: “What does family mean to me?”

These will be compiled into a short video for the event. Please send contributions to John O’Sullivan by 8th March at johnos208@gmail.com

3) Bring (or have with you online) a small object or photo that represents a moment of grace or love experienced in your family. This may be the same item you shared above. It will be used during the Gratitude Circle in the afternoon.
