In the sacrament of Marriage, a baptized man and/or a baptized woman vow to love, honor, and respect one another. They promise to be faithful to one another, to honor their vows until the death of their spouse, and to accept children lovingly from God.
They make this pledge before the priest and other witnesses. The Church considers this bond to be sacred, unbreakable, and binding until the death of one of the spouses.
Marriage, like priesthood, religious, or single life, is a vocation – a calling from God. The sacrament of marriage gives the husband and wife the grace to live a life focused on serving God through their love for one another and to raise their children in the Catholic faith.
Marriage Preparation courses for our cluster are held at Saint Anthony of Padua Church on Brown Street in Westbrook. Following diocesan guidelines this 8 week series involves presentations, discussions and a group activities. If the schedule at Saint Anthony's is difficult for you to accomodate, we can refer you to when the series will be offered in other clusters or churches in the area.

All are urged to contact our Parish Office for registration, more information or guidance at least 6 months prior to your intended date.
