Description
Your group will do a presentation on the Sacrament of Marriage. The
research will include online and written sources (primary and secondary) and
two interviews. You must interview (by e-mail, phone, or video conference)
two (2) couples who were married in the Catholic Church, asking them
questions about their wedding day, married life (challenges and rewards),
and their understanding of the sacrament. You will be turning in your
interview questions with your report. In the bibliography you must site the
dates, times, and names of the people interviewed.
Your presentation must include the following:
- the sacramental history and theology of marriage
- an overview of the marriage rituals and symbols
- an overview marriage preparation in the Catholic Church (you can get
this information from any parish office)
- an overview of the annulment process in the Catholic Church
- the results of the interviews
