Marriage

- Engaged couples are required to participate in a Pre-Cana (Marriage Preparation) Session.
Pre-Cana Class
- In order for you to prepare to receive the Sacrament of Marriage, the Church requires some form of formal marriage preparation. Pre-Cana is a Catholic preparation course for the Sacrament of Marriage. It is offered at Corpus Christi Parish in the Spring and Fall of each year. The sessions are designed to help engaged couples to discern their vocation to marriage and family life. They are centered on commitment to God and to each other and address many important everyday issues of sharing life together. Each session is scheduled on a Saturday: 9AM concluding with Mass at 4:30PM. Lunch is included as well as snacks and beverages.
- Upcoming Pre-cana classes: Saturday, September 28, 2024 and Saturday, March 1, 2025
