Voice of the people
What does family love
look like to you?
“Family love to me looks like being
connected, sharing the good and hard
moments, praying together, forgiveness
and sacrifice. With a young family, it
is shown in little moments amongst
the busyness of life – helping each
other, listening to each other, laughing
together and showing the love of Christ
to each other.”
Tanya Castellino - Mother of four and parishioner of Our Lady of the
Angels Parish, Rouse Hill.

“Family love is the love that
keeps a family together. It’s an
important part of a home. Our
Christian values of faith, trust and
our commitment moulds us as a
unit, not only in the home, but in
society and wider world, home to
all God’s living creatures.”
Noel McKertich - Parishioner of St Anthony of Padua Parish,

“Family love is a special type of love
that comes with its unique feelings,
behaviours, challenges and rewards. It’s
a group of people that function as a unit
that faces challenges together, shows
respect for each other, works together,
takes responsibility, makes time for
each other and practises forgiveness.”

“It has the potential to be an authentic altruistic
experience. It is nursing COVID-19 or broken hearts and
then watching the joy on the faces of people who have
made new discoveries about themselves and the world.
It is courageous, joyous, infuriating, vulnerable, hopeful,
sacrificial and occasionally, transcendent.”
Francis O’Callaghan - Religious
Education Coordinator at St Columba’s
Catholic College, Springwood.

“It is a basic ecclesial community wherein every member is
shown mutual love, respect and understanding regardless of
differences. For me, that is the very foundation that every family
should have. Much more, love of family can remain strong if it is
deeply rooted in the love of God.”
Fr Galbert Albino - Assistant Priest of St
Aidan’s Parish, Rooty Hill.
