Marriage Preparation Course

Marriage Preparation Dates for 2010 have been announced:

Thursday & Friday, March 4 & 5 [7pm to 10pm]
Saturday, March 6 [9:30am to 5:30pm]

St. Elizabeth Seton holds one marriage preparation courses per year,thisyear it will be held early April. The course runs over three consecutivedays. There are two three-hour sessions (Thurs and Fri evening) and anall-day session on Saturday. This makes for an intense three days, but wefind that most couples prefer this model.

The essential content of the course covers: readiness for marriage, family background and attitudes, communication, time and money management, division of responsibilities, sexuality, parenthood, family planning, spousal love and marriage as a sacrament.

The course is facilitated by three lead couples and one of the parish priests. Each sessions has a presentation, group sharing and most of the time will be spent by each couple sharing among themselves. It is hoped that this approach encourages maximum growth, understanding and communication between the couple.

The cost of the course is $150 per couple. This amount covers the cost of expenses incurred (materials, guest speakers, refreshment/meals). The lead couples time is donated free of charge.

All couples planning to marry within the Catholic Church are welcome to attend. Couples who have lived together for some time and/or have children are required to attend a course at Catholic Family Services 5799 Youge Street.
