Mission of Marriage and Family

Our mission is to draw married couples, families, and all men, women, and children of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati into a deeper union with Jesus Christ and with one another through a four-fold approach of prayer, education, outreach and advocacy.
Through evangelization efforts, Marriage & Family strengthens the remote, proximate, and immediate preparation for marriage, and equips the family to fulfill its mission of becoming fully alive in Christ. The Center for the New Evangelization continually supports and encourages the vocation of Christian marriage and family life as a “communion of persons, a sign and image of the communion of the Father and the Son in the Holy Spirit.”

“The future of the world and of the church passes through the family”
~ St. John Paul II
