God designed marriage to be a reflection of His love for humanity.

Through the Sacrament of Matrimony, we learn about the type of love to which God calls married couples: one that wills the good of the other for their entire life.

Therefore, making the covenant of marriage last requires serious work and it’s essential that parishes support couples, starting from their engagement and throughout their life together.

Transformed in Love sacramental marriage preparation provides those in marriage ministry a timeless yet flexible resource to prepare engaged couples for the holy and noble work of marriage.

The Catholic Church is called to do many things, but our primary task is to evangelize. These programs provide a framework and tools to become better disciples and lead others in their journey of discipleship.

Cardinal Seán O'Malley

Transformed in Love has been a tremendous service to engaged couples in their proximate preparation for their Sacramental marriage. The faithfulness of the Catholic Teachings, the gifted faith-filled instructors, and the sincerely welcoming environment makes these days so enriching for these couples.

Fr. Ed Riley

My fiancé and I loved our Transformed in Love experience. We learned so much about each other, about a faithful marriage, and about growing together in holiness. Ultimately, we feel prepared for the Sacrament of Marriage in a way that we didn’t expect before.
