[B] Diocese of Kilmore ~ Marriage Preparation Courses: It is Diocesan policy that each couple should attend an ACCORD Pre-Marriaqe 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. Doing a course only weeks before your wedding makes little sense! All couples are asked to note this request and make suitable & timely arrangements. Contact ACCORD in the Pastoral Centre, Cavan at 049 - 4375004 for courses available in the Diocese of Kilmore. Courses available monthly to May, plus October & November 2011.
