Only One Thing Is Necessary

How Catholic Families Can Strive To Be United in This Life and the Next

Family life is messy. As a response to the challenges we face in this day and age, Archbishop Bernard A. Hebda of the Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis reads his pastoral letter to families, Only One Thing Is Necessary: How Catholic Families Can Strive To Be United in This Life and the Next, relating how each one of us has a role to play in supporting a culture of family, a role that begins and can only be fully realized with our Lord, in prayer. The letter was issued May 13, 2026, the Feast of Our Lady of Fatima. Read the letter, listen to the podcast, or order a beautifully bound copy.
