Marriage Preparation

English and Spanish Marriage Preparation Programs

Congratulations on your engagement!

God has called you to live the beautiful vocation of marriage. This sacrament will strengthen you for your life together. Marriage is the center and foundation of Catholic family life. Together you, and any children with whom you share life, will be a blessing and a gift for you, for the Church, and for your family and friends.

--Bishop David Ricken
