This is an exciting and joyful time as you prepare to celebrate the Bond of Matrimony. Begin your preparations early, but remember to pay special attention to your spiritual journey. We encourage you to pray together and integrate yourselves into our parish community in a special way during this period. This will help you to build a strong foundation for your married life.
