Marriage Formation
Preparing couples for a Christ-centred life together and setting them up for a thriving marriage. Marriage formation does not stop when a couple gets married, but is ongoing and lifelong.
In celebration of the 5th anniversary of Amoris Laetitia (on the beauty and joy of love in the family), Pope Francis announced a special year dedicated to the family.
The Year of the Family began on March 19, 2021 and will conclude on June 26, 2022 on the occasion of the X World Meeting of Families in Rome.
“The Christian proclamation on the family is good news indeed.”

Prayer to the Holy Family
Jesus, Mary and Joseph, in you we contemplate
the splendour of true love; to you we turn with trust.
Holy Family of Nazareth, grant that our families too may
be places of communion and prayer, authentic schools
of the Gospel and small domestic churches.
Holy Family of Nazareth, may families never again experience
violence, rejection and division; may all who have been hurt
or scandalized find ready comfort and healing.
Holy Family of Nazareth, make us once more mindful of the sacredness
and inviolability of the family, and its beauty in God’s plan.
Jesus, Mary and Joseph, Graciously hear our prayer.
Amen.
Pope Francis, Amoris Laetitia
