The Life. Marriage. Family Network meets online monthly to share ideas, best practices and to collaborate together on behalf of the Catholic community. We focus on sharing the latest resources and activities in our respective regions in to advance our ministry in life, marriage and family.
Our mission is to support each other in evangelising couples and families
through formation in Catholic theology in a marriage catechumenate model
that reaches across all ages and stages.
The monthly meeting is hosted by PMRC (Australia). Established in 2020 in response to the pandemic lockdowns, LMF.Net and has grown to include representatives from dioceses all over Australia and leaders from multiple Catholic movements.
We collaborate closely with representatives from the Australian Catholic Life, Marriage and Family Council and the Media Office of the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference. We utilise MS Teams technology to meet, communicate and share resources efficiently.
