Marriage and Marriage Prep

Marriage Prep Program

Congratulations on your plans to be married in the Catholic Church!

The Paulist Center is a site for the Archdiocesan program, Transformed in Love. Some sessions are being held in person, some virtually, as noted next to the particular session dates below. The program begins on Friday evening starting at 7 pm and ending at 9 pm. It continues the following day starting at 9 am with a lunch break and picking up again at 1:30 pm until 4:30 pm. Certificates at the in-person sessions will be distributed at the conclusion of the 5pm Mass on Saturday. Certificates at the virtual session will be mailed to participating engaged couples after the session. Both days must be taken in the same session, and both partners need to attend all of the program. We encourage engaged couples to take this program sooner, rather than later (!), as the information offered is to assist you in making good decisions in preparation for your life together as a married couple.

Registration

1. To begin the registration process, click on the link next to the session you are registering for below.

3. Registration for virtual sessions closes 2 weeks prior to a session, to ensure that workbooks, which are mailed, are received. You must provide an up-to-date mailing address. Registration for in-person sessions is until the session is full since materials will be distributed at the session.
