Answer: The World Meeting of Families was held in Milan, Italy in 2012. It is a week-long international event of prayer, catechesis, and celebration that draws participants from around the globe. All families are invited and there are various registration fees. It seeks to strengthen the bonds between families and to witness to the crucial importance of marriage and the family to all of society. The World Meeting of Families consists of a Theological Adult Congress, and a concurrent Youth Congress, followed by The Festival of Families and the Papal Mass.

Saint John Paul II, in response to the need of families everywhere, asked the Pontifical Council for the Family to organize the First World Meeting of Families. It was held in Rome in 1994. The World Meeting of Families is held every 3 years, in rotating host dioceses across the globe.
