OUR MISSION
The Office of Family Life is here to share the Good News of God’s love and compassion with others. In dioceses, as far as possible, councils should be set up to assist the Church’s apostolic work, whether in the field of evangelization and sanctification or in the fields of charity, social relations and the rest; the clergy and religious working with the laity in whatever way proves satisfactory. (Vatican II Documents, Decree on the Apostolate of Lay People, no.26)

OUR VISION

  • To empower the People of God for service in the Church.
  • To evangelize the People of God of the Diocese of Springfield.
  • To educate and train the People of God to share their gifts and talents in the Church.
  • To offer models of pastoral ministry to the local parishes.
  • To strengthen and expand our ministries in light of the needs of the People of God.
