Marriage, Family Life & Spirituality

“Love is patient, love is kind… Love never fails” (1 Corinthians 13.4-8)

A Sacred Call of Love

Marriage is more than a union of hearts—it’s a sacred sacrament, a calling from God to love and serve one another as Christ loves His Church. In the vocation of marriage and family life, couples become co-creators with God, building a home where faith, hope, and charity flourish.
