Marriage Formation

For Couples

Overview

WE WANT YOUR MARRIAGE TO SUCCEED ...

That is why every parish in our diocese provides a period of preparation before your wedding.

The preparation process is a chance for you to take time for one another, to look ahead, to lay plans for your future, to embrace a future of life and love together with hope and confidence.

It is your time to deepen your faith and strengthen your love. It is an opportunity to explore the special joys and unique responsibilities of Christian Marriage.

As a married couple you will put Christ's self giving love into action. Self giving love is a challenge filled with promise -- for stability, permanence and fulfillment in your marriage.

Your DESERVE time to look at that challenge, to FEEL READY and ABLE to meet it with and for EACH OTHER.

The links that follow show you what the marriage preparation process is all about.
