Vision and Aims

FAMILIAS recognises that marriage and family life have a specific God given purpose in the lives of individuals, society and the church. Through the ministry of its members FAMILIAS aims to support, nourish and sustain families whatever their circumstances.

FAMILIAS was established in 2008 to:-

  • Share good practice and make resources more widely available

  • Connect and care for coordinators by providing peer support, ongoing training and formation

  • Advocate for families and Family Life Ministry by collaborating with other organisations and bringing concerns to the attention of the Committee for Marriage and Family Life

  • Advise and serve by responding to issues raised through the Committee for Marriage and Family Life and promoting the work of Diocesan Marriage and Family Life Coordinators

"The future of the world and of the church passes through the family"
