Marriage and family life is about married couples, newly engaged men and women, single persons, children, the widowed, and the divorced. The ministry on marriage and family life is about sustaining and supporting spiritual life, personal relationships, and human dignity.

Marriage is a covenant between one man and one woman, a lifelong union of two individuals created in God’s image, while family life is about children, families and people that interact and doing things together.

The marriage and life ministry priority exists to bring married couples, families and all persons of the Diocese into a deeper union with Jesus Christ and with one another through prayer, education, outreach and advocacy. Through these various approaches, the marriage and family ministry in the Diocese of Chalan Kanoa hopes to strengthen, sustain and respond to the preparation for marriage and equip the family in becoming fully alive in Christ.
