Marriage & Family Life
Celebrating Family: Blessed, Broken, Living Love is the national programme of support for marriage and family life within the Catholic community in England and Wales. The three priorities - Everybody's Welcome, Home is a Holy Place and Passing on the Faith - were identified following a major consultation process called Listening 2004: My Family My Church in which 15,000 families across England and Wales took part.
The Marriage and Family Life Project Office provides support, resources and advice to dioceses and parishes as they respond to families' expressed needs within this remit. The Project Office also tries to identify and highlight good practice across dioceses and organisations in supporting marriage and family life.

Everybody's Welcome
Everybody's Welcome is the first stage in a three phase campaign within the Catholic community of England and Wales to support marriage and family life in response to families' expressed needs during Listening 2004.
Home is a Holy Place
Home is a Holy Place is about seeing, knowing and responding to God's presence at home in our families.
Passing on the Faith
Passing on the Faith is a plan of collaborative family-centred action to help parents and grandparents to pass on faith in God
Listening 2004
Listening 2004: My Family My Church was a national initiative of the Catholic community to find out what life is really like for families and what they need from their church.
