marriage enrichment course

Married couples seeking to enrich their marriage are invited to participate in the “Marriage Course.” This seven-week program is presented annually. The evening begins with dinner served at tables for two to provide a “Date Night” experience. After input from Marriage Specialists, each couple spends time discussing a theme related to the presentation. A workbook guides the couples through their personal sharing.

The couples who have experienced this course have given rave reviews for the presentation, personal sharing time and delicious meals. Volunteers are needed in this ministry to coordinate the program, including coordinating the dinners.

Religious Education

Children, from Kindergarten through 8th grades, are helped to learn about and deepen their Christian faith and identity through initiation rites, Sacrament of Reconciliation, Sacrament of First Eucharist, and instruction and formation of conscience.
