Marriage Preparation
The parish recognizes the importance
of the marriage decision and seeks to assist each couple with a
period of preparation in which they will grow in an ever-deepening
love for each other. A period of three months is required to allow the
procedures for this preparation to be completed adequately and
leisurely. For the Parish of the Risen Christ, each engaged couple
is asked to follow these guidelines:
Be a registered member of the Church of the Risen Christ for a year
prior to applying for marriage preparation.
Call the parish office to meet with the priest or deacon.
Complete the FOCCUS. This inventory is a proven instrument which
assists the couple to know each other more fully.
Review the results of this FOCCUS with a couple from the marriage
preparation team.
Participate in the marriage preparation classes.
Meet with the priest or the deacon who will witness the marriage to
prepare for the liturgy for the wedding.
