About Our Apostolate

The Alexander House is a Catholic, international apostolate dedicated to “proclaiming the beauty, goodness and truth” of God’s design for marriage. Inspired by Pope John Paul II and the teachings of the Catholic Church, the ministry uses its programs, services and resources to help couples live Christ-centered, joy-filled marriages. It was established by founders Greg and Julie Alexander in 1999, and now operates nationwide from its new headquarters in San Antonio, Texas.
- Our Vision ~ To see a society full of married couples who are living God’s plan for marriage, so that the joy, sanctity and permanence of the sacrament may be realized and preserved.
- Our Goal ~ To preserve the marriage covenant, build strong families and lower the divorce rate by helping individuals to discover the beauty and grandeur of the vocation to love and the service of life through marriage, family, church and community. We promote the dignity of every man and woman so that the sanctity and permanence of marriage may be realized and preserved.
- Our Initiatives ~ The apostolate’s two major initiatives are: the Covenant of Love parish program (now in over 70 parishes nationwide) and a couple-to-couple Marriage Coaching service. It also sponsors a variety of seminars, workshops, prayer services and other events throughout the year.
- Our Motto ~ To be a witness to God’s Glory one must be humble enough to share one’s story with others. By our example of repenting and turning to God, we reveal the redeeming power of God. We make what is perceived to be intangible, tangible!
- Our Name ~ As a result of coming to understand and live out God’s design for marriage, Greg and Julie felt called to create a vehicle that would allow others to experience the same happiness and joy that they discovered in their marriage. They also believe that all we need to know about marriage should be taught in the home (hence the word “house” in the organization’s name). Because it was the Alexanders’ own wounds that began to educate and heal them–and help heal other marriages, too–it make sense for the apostolate to be called The Alexander House.
- Our Community of Givers ~ Operating as a 501c(3) organization, the organization’s successful marriage activities are supported primarily through the generous donations provided by individuals as well by a few grant-giving foundations (and similar groups). A legion of outstanding volunteers and board members also give their time, talent and/or treasure to support the ministry’s efforts.
- Our Network of Friends ~ The Alexander House collaborates with parents, churches, schools, higher education, industry and community groups to provide programs, workshops, seminars, retreats and resources. Together they work for the common goal of promoting understanding about God’s plan for the sacrament of marriage, and reversing the decline of marriage in our society.
If you believe marriage is worth preserving as an institution, and is vital to the continued health and welfare of the family, please consider making a one-time or recurring donation to this thriving marriage ministry today.
