This group offers marriage preparation to engaged couples. They seek to teach communication skills and to educate couples on the teaching of the Church on the Sacrament of Marriage.

This program consists of 5 meetings where many couples will come together to pray and listen and dialogue. Several married couples will lead the engaged couples through the preparation activities.

During these meetings, the engaged couple prepares for marriage by discussing various aspects and factors which can impact the sacrament of marriage. In the meetings, the engaged couples individually answer questions on selected topics. After discussing their answers with their fiancés, the couples join for discussions on subjects raised by the questions. During this sharing period, the married couple is able to share their experiences on the practicalities of making a marriage work with the engaged couples.
