Building the Kingdom of God, One Marriage at a Time.

The Marriage & Relationship Ministry at Most Pure Heart of Mary exists to strengthen the body of Christ by strengthening the relationships of its members. Whether you've been married for 50 years or are recently engaged, we want to offer you support, encouragement, and community as you live your vocation.

Marriage Preparation

In order to help couples prepare for marriage from both the spiritual and the practical side, the various Catholic parishes in the Archdiocese work together to provide marriage preparation options. 

Marriage preparation leaders guide engaged couples through courses designed to help them discuss issues vital to all married couples. Training is provided. 

Contact Most Pure Heart of Mary at least six months prior to the wedding and set up an appointment with the priest. Once you have met with the priest you may register for your Marriage Preparation session.

Marriage Enrichment

Marriage & Relationship Ministry offers multiple, rotating enrichment programs like the internationally-recognized The Marriage Course and Adventures in Marriage. We also host regular date nights and dating challenges. Subscribe to our newsletter to find out what’s currently being offered.

Friendship with other couples is a key source of support in a marriage. If you’d like to get plugged into a small group with other couples at a similar stage in life, please reach out!
