As a Church we cherish and safeguard the sacred character of the Mystery of Crowning (Marriage). Therefore, particular care and attention must be given to marriage preparation. The couple, their families, the pastor and the church family share this responsibility. As the minister of the sacred mystery, the pastor possesses a great responsibility to the couple and to the church. To help the pastor fulfill his responsibility, the Eparchial Church provides pre-nuptial forms and other forms necessary for proper marriage preparation. -
