First of all: congratulations! This is an exciting time in your life as you take this next step with your soon-to-be spouse. To help you best prepare for your I Dos, couples getting married in the Catholic Church are invited to take part in a two-day marriage preparation course. Taking place in Perth each year in the Spring, the Marriage Prep course gives couples the opportunity to better understand themselves, their partner, their relationship and the role God will play in their marriage. Over the two days, we cover topics such as expectations, communication, money, children, the Church, and more. Our leaders are engaging presenters and we promise good food, too. If you have any questions please send Cathy and Toby James a note at cathyjames@live.ca or call 613-812-2255.
Complete the registration form below or download the form and email it to stfrancis.sf@gmail.com or mail to St. Francis de Sales Parish, P. O. Box 1153, 17 Elmsley St. N., Smiths Falls, ON K7A 5B4
