Beloved,
You are at one of the most exciting and most important times of your lives. You are discovering love, nurturing love, and preparing to commit the rest of your lives to love. In the Gospel of John, Jesus tells us “God is Love.” For this reason, you are also at one of the most powerful events on your journey of faith. No other decision in your life will have the impact as the one you are now making. In entering the sacrament of marriage you will be choosing a way of life that will form you and transform you.
Since love is of God, your parish community wish to join with you in thanking God for this gift of love, and to be supportive as you begin the final preparations for making this singular commitment to God, to one another, and to your faith community.
I, together with those of our parish involved in marriage preparation, consider it a great blessing to be able to be involved in this process with you. We look forward to getting to know you more and assist you as you now complete the preparations to enter into the vocation of Marriage.
Fr. William McKee
