Wedding preliminaries

The Wedding Feast of Cana reminds us that it was there that Jesus worked his first miracle. That says something about the importance of marriage, and his presence in every one. Our emphasis now is on helping people - young or not-so-young - contemplating marriage so that they can enjoy to the full all the potential of our catholic resources in the sacrament they are to live. There are certain civil and church legal formalities to be observed. With all this in mind we ask couples to approach us at least 6 months before the intended wedding date. Each couple is different. So we priests discuss with each individually what are your hopes and wishes, and provide all information and help as seems appropriate. You will not be surprised to know that what we offer is very much coloured by Pope Francis’ The Joy of Love
