Ministries and Outreach - Education and Formation - Pre-Cana

The St. Agnes Pre-Cana program works with those engaged couples who are entering into the Sacrament of marriage.  The program is 6 weeks in length, with the 1st and 6th sessions centered around Mass in the Cathedral.  The 4 in home sessions look at Communication, Decision Making, Sexuality, and Spirituality and are led by married couples from the parish.  During these sessions the “host couples” share their real life experiences with the engaged to help prepare them for their married life.   

Before entering the program the engaged couples complete the Facilitating Open Couple Communication, (FOCCUS) inventory. This inventory helps the couples understand their similarities and differences and begins the discussions that are enhanced and re-visited during the in-home sessions.  

The St. Agnes in home Pre-Cana program is administered during the winter and fall each year.  Married couples who would like to volunteer to be host couples and FOCCUS facilitators please contact Pam and Jeff Byrnes at 599-6574 .  Engaged couples interested in the in home Pre-Cana program should contact the rectory for the registration information.
