Introduction
The HKCMAC is a voluntary organization. It was established in 1965 by Fr. Edward Collins, S.J. (the first appointed Chairman) at the request of the late Bishop Lawrence Bianchi (the first President) to provide Hong Kong with a specialized agency for the improvement of marriage and parenthood. It was formally incorporated in 1967.
The Agency started with Natural Family Planning services in a few Catholic Hospitals. In 1966, Family Life Education for couples and parents were introduced. Marriage Counselling services did not begin till 1968 and soon after Pre-Marriage Education. Marriage Mediation Counselling, the first of its kind in Hong Kong, started with the cooperation of the Legal Aid Department, Hong Kong Government in 1988.
