Marriage Preparation & Enrichment

Among the many blessings that God has showered upon us in Christ is the blessing of marriage, a gift bestowed by the Creator from the creation of the human race. His hand has inscribed the vocation to marriage in the very nature of man and woman (see Gn 1:27-28, 2:21-24).

If you are visiting this page as a newly engaged couple, congratulations! The Office of Marriage Preparation and Enrichment of the Diocese of Providence exists to help you prepare for the Sacrament of Marriage in the Roman Catholic Church.
