Marriage and Family Support

"The well-being of the individual person and of human and Christian society is intimately linked with the healthy condition of that community produced by marriage and family." - The Second Vatican Council (Gaudium et Spes)

The Catholic Church understands the need for marriage and family life support. There are many ministries, programs, apostolates and movements that offer resources for marriage enrichment, and support for families facing challenges, all rooted in the belief that the family is the "domestic church" and a fundamental unit of society. 

Here you will find information and resources to help support married couples and families. It is not exhaustive, so if you need more information or help, please contact the Office of Marriage and Family Life.
