Couples wishing
to be married should contact their parish priest or deacon at least six months before the
desired wedding date.
Readiness, theological preparation and marriage skills training are covered.
Special preparation is required for couples in which one or both have been
married before. The preparation process includes meeting with a
priest or deacon, a premarital inventory
(Prepare-Enrich), and
preparation sessions on a Pre-Cana day,
CANA II Day, PREP ® day, Engaged Encounter
and/or meetings with Couple Ministers.

CANA
II is
a marriage preparation series for couples in which a) one or both have been
married before, or b) one or both of the spouses will become a stepparent.
Topics include Sacramental commitment, communication, conflict resolution,
and spirituality of marriage. Couples with no children, or adult children,
may take the Saturday session only ($95). Couples who have stepchildren
under age 18 should take the Saturday session and the follow-up Active Parenting For Stepfamilies series ($125), which teaches skills that
help stepfamilies form and grow.
