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 seminar 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 at noon and picking up again at 1 pm until 4:30 pm.. Certificates at the in-person sessions will be distributed at the conclusion of the 5pm Mass on Saturday. Both days must be taken in the same session, and both partners need to attend all of both sessions.  We encourage engaged couples to take this course 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.
