Congratulations On Your Engagement!  

Have the courage to be different. What is important is the love you share, strengthened by grace. You are capable of opting for a more modest celebration in which love takes precedence over everything else."
                                            - Pope Francis

The Catholic community shares the joy and the hope that you feel as an engaged couple.  Marriage preparation is vital so that you can better:

• Understand marriage as both a sacrament and a vocation;
• Help discern and deepen your commitment to each other;
• Learn more about each other before you get married.

Remember that marriage preparation begins at your home parish, so please contact your parish as soon as you get engaged to begin marriage preparation.
