The
family of St. Anne’s is eager to help you prepare for your wedding day
and we
promise to walk with you for the many years that lie ahead.
Please
find enclosed the Program Outline.
This briefly describes the steps a couple goes through to prepare for a
wedding
here at St. Anne’s. Also find the Guidelines for
Celebrating the Sacrament of Marriage. This answers many of
the usual
questions couples have about the wedding celebration. And lastly,
also
find a schedule for the Deanery Pre-Marriage
Program .
Let me explain
a little
what these
are all about.
Basically
we ask couples to do four things in preparation for a wedding. 1)
Meet
with a priest to become clear about what it means to marry in the
Catholic
Church. This is the purpose of the “Introductory Meeting” and the
“First
Meeting with the Priest.” (See Program Outline.)
2)
Gain information about what it takes to have a successful
marriage. This
is the purpose of the “Pre-Cana Classes.” 3) Work at the
communication skills you will need to keep your relationship
alive. This
is the propose of the “Pre-Marital Inventory.” 4) Plan the
wedding
celebration.
The
Introductory Meeting for those planning weddings are scheduled
as
follows and will be held in the Parish Conference Room (enter glass
doors on
the west side of building off of the parking lot, and enter 1st
door on right):
SATURDAY, July 17, 2010 –
10:00 am to 12 noon
SATURDAY, November 12, 2010 –
10:00 am to 12 noon
Your
next step is to read the enclosed material carefully, then call to sign
up for
one of the Introductory Meetings. If you have any questions
please feel
free to call.
