Mission
With the guidance of Cardinal George, the Family Ministries Office coordinates and implements the Church’s mission for families in the Archdiocese of Chicago. This Office assists families, with all their diversity, to develop the values of family life. This is done indirectly by assisting parish staffs to develop a family perspective in their outreach to families. The Office coordinates the activity of various programs and serves as a resource for parish staffs and ministers to enhance and enrich ministry for marriage and family life. In addition, as an agency in the Department of Evangelization, Catechesis, and Worship, this Office is a resource to the other 17 Office Directors for efforts which enhance marriage and family life.
