"The family is the original cell of social life. It is the natural society in which husband and wife are called to give themselves in love and in the gift of life. Authority, stability, and a life of relationships within the family constitute the foundations for freedom, security, and fraternity within society. The family is the community in which, from childhood, one can learn moral values, begin to honor God, and make good use of freedom. Family life is an initiation into life in society"

Our goal here at St. Benilde is to support Catholic couples as much as possible, strengthening them in their vocation and assisting them in their call to holiness. We do this in a wide variety of ways such as:
- Providing personalized, couple to couple Marriage Preparation for engaged couples.
- Our annual Supper & Substance Dinners
- By offering Couple Sharing Groups as part of the Be Light Year Marriage Enrichment Series
- Hosting & promoting a parish Marriage Retreat through the Willwoods Community
- Promoting Domestic Church, a lay movement that provides life-long formation for Sacramentally married couples for growing in holiness together as a couple.
