An initiative of the Catholic Bishops of Massachusetts


The four bishops of Massachusetts are calling for an intensive campaign to educate Catholics concerning the truth of marriage and to empower them to make a case for it to the wider community. This project called “The Future Depends on Love” and it is a statewide program of the Massachusetts Catholic Conference. Marriage is given to us by the creator so that two blessings may flourish: love and life.

The natural meaning of marriage is something that can be understood by non-believers as well as by Christians: marriage is an exclusive commitment that is lifelong and life-giving. But by grace, marriage is even more it embodies Christ’s marriage to the Church and injects into the world the eternal life of love of God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
