“A committed, permanent, faithful relationship of husband and wife is the root of a family. It strengthens all the members, provides best for the needs of children, and causes the church of the home to be an effective sign of Christ in the world” (U.S. Catholic Bishops, Follow the Way of Love: A Pastoral Message to Families)
The Second Vatican Council calls the laity to vitally change and transform the world especially where they live. The Marriage and Family group helps to create a culture of life, the vocation of marriage, and the sharing of the faith with children through meaningful formation and education programs.
