Ministerial service of the Church to the families encloses the abundance of spirituals, moral and financial help. Nowadays multiple children families shouldn't be associated only with negative circumstances, especially when it's aware. The Conference of Polish Episcopate clearly states that identifying multi-child families with pathology is hurting and unauthorized. Multi-child family is crucial for the development of the society and work human capital, it creates a great chance for its future. Despite in some cases greater poverty, large family is happier as it creates an environment rich in interpersonal relations and statistically is more religious. Such kind of families should be supported by proper legal help and tax reductions. A family with many children is a picture of civilization of love and live, it strengthens love – selfless gift for another human being and generous accepting of new life, affecting the life of the whole society. The Church should advocate more strongly in favor of parenthood and multi-child families as important environment for Church and whole community from educational, cultural, economic and demographic point of view.
