“

We have existed for fourteen centuries, owing to the strong faith in God we received from our ancestors and because we have protected and defended the family, which is the source of life and joy. This same journey of family and faith guides and assembles us today. Such encounters that neither express rebellion nor are directed against anyone. We need encounters as vivid testimony to the beauty of life that is hidden and born within marriage and the family.
