Pope St. John Paul II
“According to the plan of God, marriage is the foundation of the wider community of the family, since the very institution of marriage and conjugal love are ordained to the procreation and education of children, in whom they find their crowning.” (Pope St. John Paul II, Familiaris consortio #14, Apostolic Exhortation, 22 November 1981)
The Optional Memorial of St. John Paul II (1920 – 2005) is October 22.
