^VOICE VOL. XIX No. 19 PRICE 25c JULY 22, 1977 Family Center to open Aug. 29 By ROBERT O'STEEN Voice News Editor A new facility will open next month to serve every parish and priest in the Arch- diocese with programs relating to family life. The Archdiocesan Family Enrichment Center, planned for several months by Archbishop Edward McCarthy and other Archdiocesan leaders, will begin operation Aug. 29, ac- cording to Terry and Mimi Reilly, the couple who will direct the facility. "THE OPENING is on the same day as the first day of school," said Terry Reilly, "and there will be an open house in mid-September." "The purpose of the Center," ReiUy emphasized, "is not to start some kind of separate movement but to work through the parishes and organizations in ways to help enrich family living in the Archdiocese." The facility itself, the former residence of the Sisters of St. Joseph Cottolengo, at 18330 NW 12 Ave., was provided by the Archdiocese and was chosen because of its location between Dade and Broward Terry and Mimi Reilly and four of their five children In- Including office space, conference rooms and the Reiiiy's counties at the center of the spect facility that will be the Family Enrichment Center, home.
