Washington State Bishops Teaching Document On Marriage and R-74

Dear Friends:

Here is the copy of the joint statement of the Washington State Bishops on marriage in both Spanish and English.  I hope you will consider forwarding these materials to key leaders in your parish and school as well as those involved in catechetical formation programs.  You might also consider sending these home with your weekly school packets as well as any at-home materials your parents receive from their religious education programs.  In advance I thank you for your assistance in this important evangelization effort.
