The purpose of the Family Life Committee is to raise consciousness of the importance and value of family life in the parish.  In this context, family includes two parent, single parent, blended, divorced, widowed, young married, and seniors.  The committee strives to provide materials, programs, and processes to aid in the development of Christian family values.  It also works to maintain the family perspective in other areas and organizations of the parish, e. g., liturgy, education, and social.
