Produktbeschreibung

"The complexity of today's society and the challenges faced by the family require a greater effort on the part of the whole Christian community in preparing those who are about to be married...In this regard the Synod Fathers agreed on the need to involve the entire community more extensively by stressing the witness of families themselves and by grounding marriage preparation in the process of Christian initiation by bringing out the connection between marriage, baptism and the other sacraments. The Fathers also spoke of the need for specific programmes of marriage preparation aimed at giving couples a genuine experience of participation in ecclesial life and a complete introduction to various aspects of family life" Pope Francis, Amoris Laetitia #206

Preparing couples to confidently live out their lifelong project is a great joy and responsibility for the whole Christian community. By saying 'I do' they begin a journey that calls for great generosity and commitment. It is our task as church to welcome them, help them discern their vocation, and then walk with them throughout the seasons of married life, supporting them as they gradually discover the dignity and beauty of their calling.

Preparing couples to confidently live out their 'lifelong project is a great joy and responsibility for the whole Christian community.
