Marriage & Family Life
Celebrating Family: Blessed, Broken, Living Love is the national programme of support for marriage and family life within the Catholic community in England and Wales. The three priorities - Everybody's Welcome, Home is a Holy Place and Passing on the Faith - were identified following a major consultation process called Listening 2004: My Family My Church in which 15,000 families across England and Wales took part.
The Marriage and Family Life Project Office provides support, resources and advice to dioceses and parishes as they respond to families' expressed needs within this remit. The Project Office also tries to identify and highlight good practice across dioceses and organisations in supporting marriage and family life.
