Marriage Enrichment
As marriages become healthier and stronger, couples discover that God has called them, through their marriage, into a partnership to transform society.
The Archdiocese runs courses that combine face-to-face and zoom sessions each year, dependent on expressions of interest in participating. Participate from the comfort and privacy of your own home as well as meeting a couple of times with those undertaking the course and feel supported on your marriage journey by other married couples.
Whether you’ve been married for 6 weeks or 60 years, the Marriage Course can assist you to strengthen your relationship.
