Join Our Pre-Cana Team!

Our Pre Cana Team is preparing for the upcoming instructions for our engaged couples.  Father Michael and our Catholic married couples provide a program that contains all the instruction and formation elements mandated by our Bishop.  They give personal reflections on the human and Christian aspects of marriage.  More Catholic married couples are needed for this worthwhile ministry. Please consider being a part of the Pre-Cana Team.  Preparation for speaking to the engaged at these instructions is provided. If interested, contact Sr. Jolenta at 412-771-5483.

Various Marriage Preparation Links

Below are several sites that are useful for both engaged and married couples.

• Pittsburgh Engaged Encounter - "The Engaged Encounter Weekend offers couples a unique opportunity to look at their commitment to each other in a deeper way as they prepare for marriage."

• Marriage Encounter - "... a weekend experience for any married couple who desires a richer fuller life together. It is neither a retreat, nor a marriage clinic, nor group sensitivity. It’s a unique approach aimed at revitalizing Christian Marriage."

• For Your Marriage - sponsored by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB)

• Retrouvaille - a program to help couples heal and renew their marriages
