Marriage Preparation

Pre Cana
Congratulations! We are happy to help you prepare for marriage.
Couples are encouraged to complete Pre-Cana about six months prior to their wedding date.

 

We have two different types of programs:

Pre-Cana I is marriage preparation for couples who have not been married before and do not have any children. Topics include: sacrament/spirituality, sex/intimacy, communication/conflict, values/expectations, finance, children, career and family of origin.

Pre-Cana II is for couples, when one or both have been married before, or who have children. It is appropriate for couples having their marriage convalidated in the Church. Additional topics include blending families and family systems.

During COVID our programing conforms to all CDC guidelines.

Our current programing dates include PC I options:

In person full day class on a Saturday and our digitally based Hybrid class where couples receive materials in the mail and do four hours of prework (at their convenience) before attending a 2 hour zoom session (dates are listed in registration.)
