Marriage Preparation.
Marriage Preparation is a process of meeting with a priest or a deacon to prepare to enter into the Sacrament of Matrimony. It is a minimum of 6 month, consisting of various prayers, questionnaires, Blessings, and reading to help you enter well into the Sacrament.
Prenuptial Investigation Form
Please fill out this form and bring it with you for the first meeting. This is your basic information needed to enter into the Sacrament of Marriage.
Requirements for Preparation of the Archdiocese
The Archdiocese of Mobile has a few requirements for the Preparation Process. Use the Button below to see the document of those requirements.
NFP Resources
NFP, or Natural Family Planning, is one of the required things the Archdiocese asks of each couple to learn. Here are some resources that may help meet that requirement.
Marriage Retreat
Couples are asked to attend a retreat together. There are limited numbers of these retreats throughout the year, please sign up for one early in your engagement.
Marriage Sexuality and Responsible Parenting
Sexuality and Parenthood are obvious parts of Marriage, it is important to have a good understanding of the Catholic Teachings that surround both.
Prayer
Perhaps the most helpful tool for a Marriage to not only succeed and thrive is for the couple to pray together. I have put together a prayer book that I hope would be a huge help to any couple, dating, engaged, and married. We will pray together using this book throughout your marriage preparation.
