As in 2018, “Joy-Filled Marriage” preparation, hosted by the Archdiocese of Atlanta, continues this year as a two-Saturday program. The first Saturday focuses on life-skills while the second Saturday is for sacramental preparation. Click here to register online.
“Love Again” is a quarterly workshop that offers life-skills for couples who are marrying after a previous marriage. This include couples where one or both of the partners have experienced an annulment, being widowed, a civil marriage or anticipate a blending of families. “Love Again” combined with a second Saturday focused on sacramental preparation completes the marriage preparation process for these couples. Visit our website for registration.
“Witness to Love” is a new initiative based on the Marriage Catechumenate model encouraged by Pope Francis and St. Pope John Paul II. It combines a sponsor couple, picked by the engaged couple, and part two of the “Joy-Filled Marriage” workshop. More details and registration are available online.
All couples receive a Certificate of Completion at the end of the second Saturday. Please see the attached flyer with registration information and program dates for 2019.
Understanding some couples may need more flexibility with two Saturdays, please consider www.catholicmarriageprep.com.
