Office of Family Life“The family finds in the plan of God the Creator and Redeemer not only its identity, what it is, but also its mission, what it can and should do.”
Saint Pope John Paul II, Familiaris Consortio-17 -

“The Office of Family Life appreciates the inherent reciprocity between the well-being of the family and the integrity of the Church. We strive to evangelize, form and equip families in order to bring each of its members into relationship with the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit and in communion with the Church so they can live out their identity and mission in the world.”
