Family fair

The deadline to submit the admission application is April 30th, 2012.

A showcase dedicated to good practice, new ideas and good deeds for the benefit of the family. This is the essential idea behind the International Family Fair, the event scheduled for May 29 – June 2 2012 in Milan and an intrinsic part of the Seventh World Meeting of Families, which will draw hundreds of thousands of people to Milan and close in the presence of Pope Benedict XVI.

The International Family Fair is an initiative – the first of its kind in Italy – to promote contact, exchange and visibility between associations and foundations, both ecclesiastical and civil, organisations and companies, and persons working in the family sector. It is an opportunity for highlighting how the family represents a fundamental value for society.

The Fair will take place at MiCo – Milano Congressi in Viale Scarampo (Underground: Fieramilanocity – MM1 Amendola or Lotto). 50,000 visitors are expected at the Fair, and entry is free of charge.

Catholic Conference rallies opposition to civil unions special session Denver, Colo., May 11, 2012 / 09:13 am (CNA).- The Colorado Catholic Conference and the Catholic bishops of Colorado are urging voters to oppose Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper’s call for a special legislative session to vote on civil unions legislation. “The Catholic bishops of Colorado encourage all Catholics and all people of good will to join in prayer and action,” the conference said May 10. “This special session is a rash reaction to political and financial pressure from special interest groups who do not represent the majority of Coloradans,” said the conference, which works on behalf of the Catholic Church on legislative issues. “The civil union debate is finally about securing legitimacy for social arrangements and personal behaviors that most societies and religious traditions have found problematic from long experience, not out of disrespect for homosexual persons, but because of the implications that creating a pseudo-marital institution would have for society at large.” The 2012 session of the Colorado House of Representatives ended May 9 amid great controversy. With the support of one Republican, a civil unions bill unexpectedly passed through a House committee and advanced to the Republican-controlled House floor. Republicans filibustered the bill and House Speaker Frank McNulty announced an impasse May 8. The civil unions bill, along with more than 30 other bills, died without a vote. The bill would grant the legal benefits, protections and responsibilities of spouses to any two unrelated people who contract a union. Though the bill is being advocated as a gay rights measure, opposite-sex couples can also contract a union. Civil unions backers believe they have enough Republican support to pass the bill. On May 9 Gov. Hickenlooper, a Democrat, called for a special session. He described civil unions as a “civil rights issue,” the Denver NBC affiliate 9 News reports. The Colorado Catholic Conference objected to supporters’ use of civil rights language.
