‘Faith in Action’ steadily moving toward goal

Across the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City, 7,377 families have come together in support of the 2025 Annual Catholic Appeal, Faith in Action. Thanks to their generosity, $3 million has been raised toward the $4.5 million goal, leaving $1.5 million needed to fully fund the ministries that serve thousands each year.

One ministry supported by the appeal is the Office of Marriage and Family Life, which plays a vital role in forming and strengthening Catholic families throughout the archdiocese.

This year, the office has served 32 families, including engaged and married couples, couples facing infertility or miscarriage and women seeking to better understand their reproductive health.

Because of ongoing support, these services are offered regardless of religious background or ability to pay.

This year, the office expanded its outreach with several new and growing initiatives. The popular Luncheons for Life are now held quarterly, doubling attendance and enriching the experience with local speakers and formation opportunities. A new semi-annual Natural Family Planning Instructor Gathering was also launched, providing ongoing education and fellowship for instructors, clergy and medical professionals.

Additionally, new bilingual instructors and medical professionals are discerning advanced fertility care training, helping ensure that these vital services are accessible across cultures and languages.

To learn more about services offered through the Office of Marriage and Family Life, contact Director Carrie Harkey at [email protected].
