WMOF Week 7 – The role of education in raising families out of poverty 

“The task of education is to make us sense that the world and society are also our home; it trains us
how to live together in this greater home.”
“Education of children is a ‘most serious duty’ and at the same time a ‘primary right’ of parents.”
(Pope Francis, Amoris Laetitia)
The educational mission of families will be explored during the WMOF2018 Pastoral Congress, where
the role and rights of parents in education will be discussed, as well as the relationship between
education and the welfare of the families, economy, poverty and homelessness.
