Bereavement Prepare Enrich
 

The CDEM inventory is being phased out and replaced with the Prepare-Enrich set of inventories.  Bishop Lennon has mandated Prepare-Enrich be utilized for marriage preparation in the Cleveland Diocese.  Trainings have been scheduled for priests, deacons and pastoral ministers involved in marriage preparation. 
For more information call Bill Boomer (216-334-2971) or visit the the Prepare-Enrich website.

How do I register? 
Email Ginny Deeks
gedeeks@clevelandcatholiccharities.org  or call her at 216-334-2972.   Email is preferred as we will need your email address for setting up your administrator ID.    Also include your parish name and phone number.   

What is the cost of training?
In 2008, training is free (a $175 value!) to qualified clergy and pastoral ministers.  The cost will be covered by the CDEM replacement fund.  Depending on available resources, future trainings may require a fee.   

Who should be trained? 
Training is for all clergy and those pastoral ministers already involved or soon to be involved in marriage ministry.   Training is most effective if the inventories will be used within weeks of the training.    A separate training will also be offered for couple ministers (see below).   

Is there a registration deadline?
We would like an accurate count one week before each training session.    The goal is to train all current clergy by the end of 2008.  
 

What about training couple ministers?
We encourage clergy to train couple ministers (healthy married couples) to assist them in marriage preparation.  
Cost:  $35 active couple ministers / $125 new couple ministers
