Our goal is to help engaged couples get to know each other more deeply in order to help them succeed in their marriage and to deepen their relationship with God.

This ministry is run by married couples in our parish to engaged couples.  Engaged couples are offered a chance to discuss their personal relationship with each other in a quiet setting.  We cover topics important in a marriage, such as:
Life style expectations, finances, children
Communication and problem solving
Intimacy
and Spirituality.

We neither judge nor lecture.  We do, however, share our stories, experiences, and journeys of faith, to help enrich the engaged couples own marriage.

Faith and love are experiences. The more these experiences are shared, the more people notice God and God’s call to be Church for one another. This usually can only happen in a small group or community. Our community sharing leads us to action.

Volunteer & Participant Opportunities:
Service in this ministry can happen in a variety of ways - as active members of a small faith sharing community, as leaders, hosts and as members of a core community. The benefits are shared love and faith - for the individual, for the group and for the larger community.
