A Sacrament is an efficacious sign of grace, instituted by Christ and entrusted to the Church, by which divine life is given to us. Full and active participation in the sacramental life of the Church requires a period of preparation of both mind and heart to be receptive to the grace of new life in Christ.
Enrolment forms for all Sacramental Preparation are available from the rack in the church porch

Course information:
Following the teaching of the Catholic Church and understanding the sacramental nature of the wedding vows, this course is especially for couples intending to be married in the Roman Catholic Church.

This course focuses on marriage as a lifetime commitment and explores your unique couple dynamic in terms of communication, conflict management, forgiveness and ultimately to enhance and support your relationship in preparation for marriage.
Cost: £90 per couple
