"For Christians, marriage, which has it's origin in God the Creator, also implies a real vocation to a particular state of life and grace. In order to be fully realised, this vocation requires adequate, particular preparation and a specific path of love within the Church and society."
The Pontificial Council for the Family: Preparation for the Sacrament of Marriage #9
The values and benefits of married life are intimately personal and openly social. Therefore, the divine, personal and social dimensions of marriage provide a curriculum and a process for marriage preparation and ongoing marriage education.
Please contact the Parish Office to discuss making arrangements for your marriage in any of the South Mackay Catholic Churches.
