Marriage Ministries

"But in the beginning God made a man and a woman. That's why a man leaves his father and mother and gets married. He becomes like one person with his wife. Then they are no longer two people, but one."

Mark 10: 6-8

Married Couples 

The Marriage Ministry is looking for couples who want to grow their marriage by deepening their faith in God. As one of its first projects, it restarted Pre-Cana at St. Peter's. Twice a year, the Marriage Ministry hosts Pre-Cana for couples in the archdiocese who are preparing for marriage.

To join this ministry, contact:

Engaged Couples

Would you like to attend Pre-Cana at St. Peter's? Our program consists of two sessions (Friday night and Sunday afternoon) during which you'll hear married couples share their experiences on communication, family life, sexuality, and marriage as a sacrament. A priest will present the church's view. You'll also be given time to communicate one-on-one with each other -- to deepen your relationship.

Contact the Archdiocesan office at 973-497-4328 to find out when the next Pre-Cana will be offered at St. Peter's. For other locations and dates, check the Marriage Preparation booklet available from your parish priest.

Here's what recent participants said:

• Very helpful.  It promoted discussion and made me feel better that I was not alone.  I recommend that every couple, regardless of religion, attend Pre-Cana.

• It was productive and enjoyable.  Everyone was very nice and supportive!

• It was really interesting and a lot better than I thought it would be.  The speakers were very nice and well prepared.   Their discussions were interesting and kept my attention.

• Thank you so much.  We loved it.  It was informative and it is so inspiring to see couples like you guys!

• It was instructional, informative and thought provoking.  Good experience.

• I was hesitant at first, however, the welcomes, the smiles and the warmth from all the leaders made this a truly enjoyable and worthwhile experience!  Thank you.

• Wonderful!  I was somewhat skeptical, but the whole experience was great.  The high quality of this pre-cana is a direct result of the high quality people who put together and presented these important topics.

• My fiance and I got a lot from this program.  I feel more close to him and even better prepared for what we are about to begin.
