How do these toolkits complement our parish Marriage Preparation Course?
Standard parish courses focus on communication and catechesis. These canonical instruments provide pastors and instructors with targeted screening criteria to verify that consent is free, informed, and sacramentally valid.
Are these resources free for parishes and diocesan offices?
Yes. All downloadable checklists, homily guides, and parish bulletin inserts are provided free of charge to support Catholic pastors and marriage ministers worldwide.
