Preparation for marriage is not just for the wedding day when family and friends gather to witness and celebrate the commitment the bride and groom make to each other; it is preparation for the day-to-day relationship the husband and wife will live throughout their married life whereby their lives, through the Sacrament they receive, will become a witness to others of Christ’s love for His Church.

The Parish community of St. Mary of the Annunciation – Navilleton has made a commitment to support married couples in living out their Sacrament during their journey through married life by providing an on going enrichment process to aid them in the journey toward realizing their relationship's potential. Responsible participation in this process is an indication of the serious understanding of the commitment underlying their relationship.

Preparation for the Sacrament of Marriage requires about six months or more.

For more information, or to begin the process of preparation for the Sacrament of Marriage, please see Fr. Joe after Mass.
