The dates for the 3-part diocesan marriage preparation course in 2024 have been published. 

---

Congratulations on your engagement!

The Church rejoices with you as you prepare to be married, and the diocesan Marriage and Family Life office wants to support you as you start your journey towards married life.

It is important to contact your parish priest at least six months before your intended wedding date.  This allows time to arrange documentation and obtain any necessary permission to marry.

As part of your preparation, you are invited to attend a marriage preparation course for engaged couples designed to encourage you, enrich your relationship and enhance your understanding of the Catholic Church's teaching on marriage and family life.

It is an enjoyable, relaxed course where you can meet other couples who are getting married and also have time to share with your fiancé(e) your expectations and hopes for your marriage.

There is a cost of £50 per couple to cover administration, information packs and refreshments.

Registration is essential. Please contact your parish priest before registering.
