“Among the many blessings that God has showered upon us in Christ is the blessing of marriage, a gift bestowed by the Creator from the creation of the human race…It is a source of blessing to the couple, to their families, and to society and includes the wondrous gift of co-creating human life”
The best way to get involved in our family of faith is by joining a ministry!
“The family, which is founded and given life by love, is a community of persons: of husband and wife, of parents and children, of relatives. Its first task is to live with fidelity the reality of communion in a constant effort to develop an authentic community of persons.”
What are/is a Marriage & Family Life Ministry?
Catholic Marriage & Family Life Ministries support couples and families at every stage by promoting healthy relationships, fostering spiritual growth, and teaching the Church's vision of family as a "domestic church". These ministries offer marriage preparation, enrichment, Natural Family Planning education, and community outreach, providing tools for lasting marriages and faith-filled home life.
