Preparing for a Covenant marriage between God, and an engaged couple provides a solid foundation for moving forward as you journey together as husband and wife with Christ at the center of your relationship & marriage. Engaged couples in need of marriage preparation are invited to attend this one day event which will offer you time to hear presentations by other couples and a Priest on: Marriage as a Sacrament and the Catholic Wedding ceremony, Family of Origin, the 5 Love Languages & 4 Temperaments, Conflict, problem solving, finances, Intimacy and Natural Family Planning.

All are invited to a presentation on the new OCIA. This event will be especially helpful for new and nearly new coordinators and catechists who received little training in the RCIA and as a refresher for anyone with training and experience. The morning session will focus on the catechumenal model of initiation while the afternoon session will focus on what is new in the OCIA and the new National Statutes for Christian Initiation of Adults. There will be a keynote speaker as well as opportunities to ask questions throughout the day. Lunch is provided. The deadline to register is October 18.

This event is for Lay Ecclesial Ministers and Candidates. Keynote speaker, Julianne Stanz, is a nationally known speaker, retreat leader, storyteller, and the Director of Outreach for Evangelization and Discipleship for Loyola Press and a consultant to the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.
