MARRIAGE MINISTRY
In the marriage covenant a new family is created as the original cell of social life (CCC #2207). The Church desires to support and accompany couples in living out their covenant through local parish ministry. The Office of Marriage & Family Life supplements parish efforts by helping prepare couples for marriage and offering them support as they seek to live out their marriage vows.
