❤️ Your gift can strengthen a family.
Every marriage strengthened. Every parent encouraged. Every engaged couple prepared. Every family supported through a difficult season.
This is the mission of the Archdiocesan Family Life Commission—and you can be part of it. We’re inviting you to become an AFLC Steward by making a financial commitment for six months to help sustain our ministries supporting marriages and families throughout the Archdiocese.
🙏 As a Steward, a Mass will be offered each month for your intentions and the intentions of your family.
No gift is too small. When we come together, we can help more couples rediscover hope, more parents feel supported, and more families know they are not alone.
We all have a mission! Let’s see what we can do together.
