Marriage Prep

Marriage Preparation

Getting married soon—or discerning whether you're ready to say I do?

This one-day course is for engaged couples preparing to receive the Sacrament of Marriage in the Catholic Church, and is also open to couples in serious relationships who want to explore what marriage really asks of us before getting engaged.


It's a chance to pause, reconnect, and invest in your future together. You'll explore what helps marriages thrive, how to navigate differences well, and what those vows actually mean. Plus enjoy morning tea and lunch together and practical resources to take home.

What the day covers:

  • What marriage is and why it matters
  • Communication and navigating differences
  • The meaning of your vows
  • Building a love that lasts
