Our new marriage program, Witness to Love, is designed to help you and your future spouse grow together and understand the Church’s teachings on Sacramental Marriage. It includes choosing a mentor couple that you want accompanying you on this journey. You will meet monthly with your mentor couple in the time leading up to the wedding day and learn to communicate, work on important virtues to have a happy marriage, and form a relationship with a couple that will support you throughout your marriage.

Some of the steps for Marriage Preparation are:

  • Making an appointment with the Church office to discuss your wedding

  • Completing a Prepare and Enrich Inventory

  • Meeting with one of our priests for a personal conversation

  • Selecting a mentor couple and meeting with them monthly

  • Attending a Marriage Retreat with your mentor couple

  • Completion of a Natural Family Planning course

For more information, please email wtl@bspwa.org.

We are excited about Witness to Love not only for the benefits it will offer our engaged couples but also for the enrichment it will bring to our already-married couples! Perhaps you would like to participate in the program by being a mentor couple? Let us know: wtl@bspwa.org! Sharing your experience of marriage with an engaged couple will bear fruit in your own marriage!
