Are you married? Preparing to get married? Then please read on!

We may have had to postpone our two planned Thanksgiving Masses for Marriage due to the coronavirus pandemic, but we hope to reschedule them for later this year.

Once again we will welcome couples from across the Archdiocese who are celebrating milestone marriages, are marking their first wedding anniversary or about to get married.

But for the time being please be a part of UK National Marriage Week 2020, which runs from Monday 11 to Sunday 17 May.

This year’s theme is an invitation to reflect on your relationship now, to take stock, to ask where it’s going and what the future might look like whether you’re married or in a relationship.

And if you’re single and aspire to a forever relationship, we invite you to join the conversation too.

There are some great stories and insights on the Marriage Week website, along with podcast The M Word.
