Saturdays for the Engaged

This ministry helps couples understand the loving will of the Church about marriage and sacraments and to equip them to live their Catholic lives in their marriage vocations.  Married couples, clergy and professional family/marriage counselors combine to present topics geared to meet this goal.  Fee requested is $100 and is needed to cover costs of materials and meals.

The program is held at the Co-Cathedral of St. Thomas More and consists of three Saturdays beginning at 9:00 AM and concluding at approximately 3:00 PM.

Couples must attend all three sessions.
