Marriage Preparation Courses
Wow you are engaged! Congratulations. Everyone, including the Catholic Church wants you to have a wonderful, joyfilled, loving marriage. In order to help that become a reality preparation is needed.
Through the Marriage and Family Office the Diocese offers the approved Marriage Preparation Courses.
IMPORTANT: If you are getting married overseas please leave 6 months between finishing your course Parts 1, 2 and 3 before your wedding date. This is because it takes 6 months for the Prenuptial paperwork to be processed in both countries.
Please note our course is designed for couples attending together as an engaged couple.
