The vocation of Christian marriage demands a serious commitment. Consequently, the Church desires to do all that it can so that couples are adequately prepared to accept the obligations of Christian marriage and to fulfill them faithfully.
Couples are expected to take part in a preparation program which will include meeting with a parish priest, deacon or pastoral associate. The basic process includes:
-
Session I: Initial meeting with parish minister.
-
Sessions II, III, and IV: Three sessions with a pastoral minister or participation in one of the marriage preparation programs listed:
- Queen of All Saints Parish Marriage Preparation Program
- PreCana
- PreCana for the African-American community
- Special PreCana
- PreCana II
- Polish PreCana
- PreCana Hispana
- Discovery Weekend
- PreCana Hispana
- Hispanic PreCana in English
- Italian PreCana
- PreCana Hispana Especial
-
Session V: Follow-up session with parish minister.
-
Session VI: Follow-up session with parish minister.
Please note: additional sessions may be required by the priest/deacon celebrating your weddings.
Queen of All Saints pastoral staff wants to help you prepare for your journey of married life. This period of preparation is precious. Engaged couples stand before the Church’s representative, relatives and friends and face one another to proclaim their love and lifelong commitment. It is our hope to help all couples prepare, not only for their wedding day, but for the life-time commitment of living a Christian marriage.
