[B] Diocese of Kilmore ~ Marriage Preparation Courses: It is Diocesan policy that each couple attends an ACCORD Pre-Marriage Course. Facilitators giving these courses undergo continued in-service training and supervision. And the sacramental aspect of marriage receives appropriate attention. It is a wise practice to do a course up to a year before the date of your marriage ~ a course only weeks before your wedding makes little sense! All couples are asked to note this request and make suitable & timely arrangements. [C] Last Friday was the First Friday of the month. Visitation of the sick and housebound will continue on Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday of the coming week. Those concerned will be contacted beforehand to arrange a suitable time and day.
