PreCana Day of Reflection ----Sunday, December 11, 2022
Because Christian marriage is a sacrament, the Catholic Church wants couples to be well-prepared. Dioceses and
parishes offer marriage preparation to help couples develop a better understanding of the sacrament; to evaluate and deepen their
readiness to live married life, and to gain insights into themselves as individuals and as a couple.
Marriage preparation programs take different forms.
Some couples attend a weekend retreat; others are matched with a "sponsor couple"; and others participate
in a series of marriage preparation classes offered by their parish or diocese. The important thing for engaged
couples to keep in mind as they check numerous items off their pre-wedding "to-do" list is the well-known adage, "Your wedding lasts a day, but your marriage lasts a lifetime." The Church encourages couples to invest time and energy into the all-important work of preparing for
their married life together. (USCCB)
The Office for Parish Life offers PreCana Days of Reflection to help couples prepare for marriage. Couples spend
a day working through a series of topics, including Marriage as a vocation, the blessing of children, communication and conflict, finances, and setting shared expectations for a fruitful and faithful life together. For more information email: PreCana@dioceseofscranton.org.
