Family Life Ministry - Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston

As Family Life Ministry, we thank God for the grace of coming together to live the Stations of the Cross as a true encounter with the Lord and with one another—united as one community, enriched by the diversity of our peoples.

We are especially grateful to Bishop Italo for being part of this beautiful beginning, as for the first time the Via Crucis was held at Circle Lake Retreat Center.

Let us remain attentive as we look toward 2027, to gather once again in one heart and one spirit.

Ponte Vecchio: Building Bridges of Hope!

Family Life Ministry is grateful to the welcoming community of Prince of Peace Catholic Community for hosting the Ponte Vecchio program.

Ponte Vecchio accompanies those who have experienced divorce, offering hope, healing, and spiritual support during a time that can feel deeply painful and isolating.

Divorce represents a real loss—the end of shared life, dreams, and family stability. Through faith, community, and compassionate accompaniment, this ministry helps individuals begin a path toward healing and renewed hope.

We invite parish leaders, ministry volunteers, and anyone interested in accompanying others to consider participating in this formation and helping bring this ministry of healing to their parish communities.

Together, we can help ensure that no one walks this journey alone.

Many women carry the weight of their families alone.

Single, widowed, divorced—women who are the heart and backbone of their homes often walk this journey with faith, courage, and unseen sacrifices.

This is a call to women who feel moved to accompany, listen, pray, and build community—creating spaces where single mothers are seen, supported, and strengthened in Christ.

If you are a woman who knows this reality firsthand, Momentum: Catholic Single Mothers invites you to turn your lived experience into a ministry of compassion and hope, offering healing and support to women walking a path you once walked.

Come be part of this mission of hope.
