The Marriage Catechumenate
By relying on The Marriage Group® for a Pre-Cana course, ministry leaders can tailor the rest of the formation experience based on their resources.

This flexible option allows ministry leaders to fulfill the call for a more comprehensive formation experience while focusing their time and energy on accompaniment and integrating couples into parish life.
