From FLO to FARLO

The Family Life Office is now the Family and Respect Life Office.  The name change expresses the comprehensive ministry of our office in building the domestic church (family) as well as promoting respect for life according to the US Bishop’s Pastoral Plan for Pro-Life Activities.  We nurture family life through building faith-filled joyful marriages, supporting families through challenges and promoting the dignity of human life from conception until natural death.  We join in the Archdiocesan endeavor to support each person’s vocation as a disciple of Jesus Christ, sharing the Good News with all people.
