Marriage Preparation Request
The sacred covenant in the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony is a symbol of the union between Christ and his Church; therefore, marital love must be permanent, life-giving, and freely shared. The different components of the marriage preparation process strives to help you and your future marriage to radiate Christ's unselfish love and grow ever closer to God and to one another.
Those components include:
Discussions about the theology of marriage and your relationship, taking an inventory for engaged couples, called FOCCUS, and completing the required marriage documents.
