This Sacrament is one of the keystones of Catholic living. We believe that the marriage relationship and family living is the ordinary way in which most people love God and their neighbour. It’s through the Sacrament of marriage that we meet the intimate and faithful self-giving of God.

Couples are invited to give at least 6 months notice of their desire to get married and then they will normally prepare with the help of Marriage Care counselors and our Parish Priest. Please feel welcome to enquire whatever your situation.

If you would like to discuss getting married please contact:
