MARRIAGE MINISTRY

In the marriage covenant a new family is created as the original cell of social life (CCC #2207). The Church desires to support and accompany couples in living out their covenant through local parish ministry.  The Office of Marriage & Family Life supplements parish efforts by helping prepare couples for marriage and offering them support as they seek to live out their marriage vows.

Inspire our actions Lord, and accompany them with your help, so that every word and action may always begin and end in you. Amen. - Excerpted from Roman Missal, ICEL
