"Family become what you are!"

“Each family finds within itself a summons that cannot be ignored and that specifies both its dignity and responsibility: family, become what you are!”
 
                                      (Familiaris Consortio, #17)

The Centre for Marriage and Family aims to help families becoming more of what they are by empowering them in the fullfillment of four General Tasks:

 

1)   To form a community of persons

​

2)   To serve life

​

3)   To participate in the development of society

​

4)   To share in the life and mission of the Church.

​

This is done by meeting the needs of the HEART of families.

​

HEART stands for:

​

  • Humanitarian Aid (Family Based)- Provide aid to families and children in crisis
