UGCC Commission on Matters of the Family has developed proposals on conducting a Family Week in the parishes. During this time it is recommended to parish priests and representatives of pro-family organizations and also families to conduct celebratory events. These are, in particular, Vespers to the Virgin Mary, sermons on family topics, showing of movies, thematic lessons or seminars; in other words to conduct such activities which focus the attention of the faithful and the community on the importance of marriages and families for the Church and for society, and on the strengthening of traditional family values.
