This association is dedicated to every Pastor,

AMFM has been founded to serve those in Marriage and Family
Ministry and will do so by listening to their needs, effectively serving those

AMFM's goal is to showcase the finest in Marriage and Family resources by
partnering with the experts (individuals, ministries and organizations) in

The Coalition for Marriage, Family and Couples Education serves as an information exchange and clearinghouse to help couples locate marriage
and relationship courses; to help mental health professionals, clergy, mentor couples and lay educators locate training programs and
resources; to connect those with an interest in the continuing development of the field;
to support community initiatives, legislation and research; and to promote the effectiveness of the courses and increase their availability
in the community.
The Coalition is non-denominational, non-partisan, and non-sectarian
and is supported solely by the proceeds of the annual conference. Conference presenters volunteer their time and expertise.
The National
Association of Catholic Family Life Ministers (NACFLM) is a growing association
of professional ministers within the Catholic Church who work with, for and
beside families.
NACFLM began in 1980 with the implementation of the United States Catholic
Conference of Bishop's "Pastoral Plan for the Family" and the
beginning of the decade of the Family. NACFLM was born in the dedication of
church ministers, primarily those engaged in Marriage Preparation and Enrichment
throughout the Catholic Church in the United States.
NACFLM is subdivided into 13 regions (based on the regions of the USCCB),
along with Diocesan and Parish Representation.
