Draft Marriage Preparation Policy

Dear Fathers,

The attached Draft Marriage Preparation Policy was finalized September 18 after a year of research, review and discussion by a committee whose members include me, Monsignors Perron Auve and Robert Siler, Father Juan Godina, Deacon Dor and Rose Collado, Shira Wise, and Martha and Eudoro Lucatero.  It will be the subject of an initial conversation next week at the Convocation of Priests in Yakima, then reviewed further by priests at their area meetings, and by pastoral leaders in parish settings.  Anyone reading the draft policy who wishes to make a comment about it may do so by e-mailing Msgr. Siler, This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .
