The vocation to marriage is a beautiful sign of God’s love for humanity. It is meant to unite a man and a woman into a lifelong covenant of faith and service, as well as be a foundation for openness to life. For couples preparing for marriage, there is an 8 month preparation period prior to the wedding date.

Deacon David has been married to Doreen for over 30 years and has four children and four grandchildren (and counting!). He owns his own business in the Project Management field where he struggles like everybody else to make a good living. After 40 years of agnosticism, the reality of God finally penetrated his skepticism such that he responded to the call to be a Deacon in 2010. His ministerial ambition has been to translate theology into everyday language for people, successful marriage in the kingdom of God and helping those who have suffered a major trauma in their life.
