Our Mission

Our mission is to work with marriages, families, and those who serve them, empowering them to become beacons of God's love and mercy in the world.

Recognizing that marriage and family is the basic cell of the Church and socity, Stella Maris Center exists to put into practice Catholic beliefs, principles, virtues and values to form strong marriages  and strong families for the Church and for the world.  We do this by providing educational services to support those who are forming families, established families, as well as churches and organizations who wish to serve families.  We also do this by providing religious goods that support a wholesome Catholic family life through our fundraising "theShop".   

While our organization is guided by our Catholic principles, we believe in serving and strengthening the marriage bond between men and women who desire marriage as well as  every husband and wife, already united in marriage, regardless of  religious affiliation, or lack of religious background.  Children thrive in homes where they are reared and nurtured into adulthood by their married mom and dad.   Children who grow up with their married parents are more likely to be more successful in school and have a much better chance to have happy and and vibrant families of their own.  Ultimately, strong marriages lead to strong families whose members become the leaders of tomorrow and who do wonderful things in the world.
