Marriage Preparation at St. Patrick – St. Anthony
Our next marriage preparation weekend is September 24, 2022.
Six to eight married couples from the parish make up our marriage preparation team. They host a one day marriage preparation retreat in the spring and fall of each year.
All couples planning to be wed in a Catholic ceremony are required, by the Archdiocese of Hartford, to attend a Marriage Preparation program. While many parishes offer a six to eight week program, we offer a one day Marriage Preparation Program for couples.
The day consists of presentations given by six to eight married couples from the parish.
Topics include:
- Coping with stress
- Communication skills
- Decision making
- Finance
- Sexuality
- Commitment
- Sacrament of Marriage
- Prayer
The day ends with the celebration of the Eucharist and hors d’oeuvres.
To register for our next Marriage Preparation Program, fill out the registration form below.
Those with pre-existing conflicts should consult the presiding priest for options. Those who live outside the Archdiocese of Hartford and cannot attend this program are required to attend a similar program in the diocese in which they live.
