Marriage and Family Life

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. Since the present Commission was formed in 1990, contacts have been established in most parishes in the diocese and initiatives have been made in pre-marriage preparation, focus on the early years of marriage and courses on parenting and bereavement. We have taken part in the Listening 2004 project. We continue to follow the topics set by the Marriage and Family Project Office.
