The Commission for Marriage and Family Life The Commission for Marriage and Family Life is a diocesan Agency which was established by the Bishop to foster Marriage and Family Life.At present we are trying to establish a network of contacts across the diocese who may be interested in an area of our work. The areas we support are very diverse: - We train those who prepare couples for marriage
- We offer support to those whose marriages have failed
- We encourage contacts in parishes to develop ways to celebrate marriage
- We hold an annual Marriage celebration Mass
- We provide training to those who support the dying or bereaved
- We work with families in developing a spirituality at home
- We offer support to baptism catechists
- We are in the process of launching a grandparents association
- We are trying to find ways to develop a pro life network across the diocese
- We work with the safeguarding team to raise awareness of domestic abuse.
