Encourages prayerful participation through liturgy and provides the opportunities for parishioners to use their gifts to serve the liturgical needs of the parish. The various liturgical ministries are: liturgical planning, sacristan, greeter, lector/commentator, musician, leader of song and eucharistic minister.
Our wish is for every couple to approach this process not as an obligation, but as a means of discovering more about their own motivation for marriage and becoming aware of what their life partner is bringing to the table. We try to deliver a discovery and awareness perspective during our pre-cana and couple-to-couple sessions with couples starting out in their married lives. By articulating the power behind daily communications to help manage each other's expectations, we believe that marriages can thrive as they age. Our training at the diocesan level has provided us with powerful tools that enable us to deliver perspectives with lasting impact on our program attendees. We strive to stay away from a teaching and preaching approach and have found that by sharing our own experiences through sincere and honest examples, we are best able to assist in the couple’s preparation for a lasting marriage.
