“Evangelization is more effective when it is carried out with oneness of spirit and with sincere teamwork among the various ecclesial communities as well as among missionaries and local clergy: this requires courage to seek out ways of working together and offering mutual help in the areas of catechesis and Catholic education, as well as integral human development and charity.” – Pope Francis, September 21, 2014 Vespers
About Us
The Secretariat for Laity, Family, and Life consists of several interrelated ministries that support our parishes, missions, schools, and other entities in the tasks of evangelization. Our priorities are to animate leadership, to foster mature discipleship, and to promote vibrant communities of faith.
