Resources from the USCCB
The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has compiled many excellent resources on marriage. These include a whole website, ForYourMarriage. This website is a project of the National Pastoral Initiative on Marriage, which has commissioned a study on Catholic attitudes toward marriage. The NPIM will result in a pastoral letter on marriage in the near future.
Please consider using fact sheets as background for your pastoral work; with adult-education or young adult discussion groups; in marriage preparation or enrichment; and as bulletin inserts or items for a parish literature rack. They may be photocopied.
The USCCB resources in this section include:
