Welcome to the Family Life Office

Are you celebrating a jubilee wedding anniversary in 2020 (i.e. 10th, 25th, 40th, 50th, or 50th+)? Unfortunately, we are not going to be able to have the Bishop's large public Mass and reception (as we do every fall in non-pandemic years), but we still want to honor you. The Bishop is planning to send you a short video message with his apostolic blessing, and to send you a gift and commemorative certificate honoring your witness to the beauty of marriage. If you are interested in being recognized, please contact Claudia Green at (859) 253-1993 x 228 or via email at cgreen@cdlex.org. 

If you are seeking marriage in the Church, you will need to be in conversation with your parish regarding the marriage preparation process. In light of COVID-19, the "God's Plan for a Joy-Filled Marriage" class will be offered online for the near future (costs reduced from $65 to $45/couple--since a meal will not be provided). For the "Married Life" course at local parishes, contact the parish directly to inquire. Natural Family Planning classes will also continue to be offered, but you will need to inquire directly with the provider of the course. For more marriage prep questions,  including how to register, scroll down to the links at the bottom of the page. For more info, contact Mike Allen at mallen@cdlex.org.

Prayer support and reources can be found here, including a prayer support group and interviews with local parenting resource persons on a variety of topics..
