WHO WE ARE

The family is the fundamental unit of society and it is the Church in miniature (the domestic church). Its identity and mission are bound up in God's plan for marriage and the family since the beginning of creation, and fulfilled in Jesus Christ to become an intimate community of life and love.  The future of the Church and humanity passes through the family. 

​

The Centre for Marriage and Family is a Christian missionary organization that was established in August 2014 to respond to this great call on the family and to provide support for them as they face challenges on their journey. Rooted in Familiaris Consortio the post-synodal exhortation of Pope John Paull II on the Role of the Christian Family in the Modern World,  and guided by the Charter of the Rights of the Family presented by the Holy See to all persons, institutions, and authorities concerned with the mission of the family in today's world (October 22, 1983), the Centre for Marriage and Family aims to help families discover their sublime dignity and glorious destiny in Jesus Christ that they may bear fruit for God's kingdom through the power of the Holy Spirit and for the praise and glory of God the Father.
