The Marriage & Family Life Ministry promotes, champions, and provides education for sacramental, Catholic, and Christ-centric marriages and families.  We fulfill this mission by developing and delivering various classes, workshops, and retreats to engaged and married couples. All of our programs are open to both parishioners and Catholics throughout the Archdiocese.  Recently offered programs include:

-Transformed in Love Marriage Preparation Class for engaged couples.  This class is offered bi-annually and is a required course for marriage preparation.

-Marriage Enrichment Retreat.  This full-day program was offered in 2017 and attended by 75 couples from throughout the region.

-Raising our Children in the Catholic Faith.  This half-day workshop was offered to parents and families who have a strong interest in transmitting their faith to the next generation of Catholics.

-Marriage Enrichment Series.   This 4-week program was offered in 2019 to couples who wanted to enhance communication and intimacy in their marriages.

Future programs currently in development include:

-Understanding and Coping with Addiction.  This workshop will offer hope for healing from a Christian perspective to individuals and families who are struggling with the effects of various addictions, including alcohol, substance abuse, pornography, and others.

-Prayer Breakfast Meetings.  We will offer a series of spiritually inspirational mini-retreats tailored to the needs of married & engaged couples, men, women, those who are widowed, divorced, or separated, and young adults who aspire to the vocation of marriage.
