Serving couples and enriching marriages

Your marriage is a sacrament from God. We're here to invest in you.

An apostolate of the Willwoods Community

The Faith & Marriage Apostolate of the Willwoods Community is dedicated to promoting the Sacramentality of marriage and providing for married couples opportunities for growth, enrichment, and support.

Willwoods Community was established in 1978 by a group of married couples desiring to support the Catholic Church and the community through prayer and service. Since then, Willwoods Community has grown to serve in different areas, including Faith and Marriage, Affordable Housing, WLAE TV, and TheDailyMass.com.
