FOR
YOUR MARRIAGE
In November, 2004 the U.S. Bishops voted overwhelmingly to make
marriage a priority. They launched the National Pastoral Initiative
for Marriage (NPIM), a multi-year effort to communicate the meaning
and value of married life for the Church and for society. The
Initiative brings together Catholic teaching and pastoral practice,
social science research, and the experience of married couples.
It will offer guidance and resources to promote and strengthen
marriage. www.ForYourMarriage.org
is an outgrowth of this initiative providing "resources for
living happily ever after." Check out the site if your are
married or just thinking about it! |

gathering. We invite you to read some of the success stories
