Welcome to the Marriage and Family Office

“Today, if they are to give a truly human face to society, no people can ignore the precious good of the family, founded on marriage…Thus the Church cannot cease to proclaim that marriage and family are irreplaceable and permit no other alternatives…the Christian family has a very noble mission that it cannot shirk: the transmission of the faith …Parents are the first evangelisers of children, a precious gift from the Creator, and begin by teaching them to say their first prayers. In this way a moral universe is built up, rooted in the will of God, where the child grows in the human and Christian values that give life its full meaning.”
 

(Pope Benedict XVI, Letter to Participants in the 5th World Meeting of Families)

The Marriage and Family Office promotes the truth, goodness and beauty of marriage and family life. It draws on Catholic teaching to support marriage and family as one of the main foundations of a healthy and flourishing society.
