For over 40 years, we have prepared couples for the sacrament of marriage. Our Three to Get Married Marriage Preparation Program draws upon the best in contemporary psychology, practical wisdom from experienced married couples, and the beauty of the Catholic Church’s teachings on marriage and family life to provide couples with the best foundation on which to build a successful marriage. Our program aims to provide each couple with a reflective and in-depth preparation for a joyful, faith-filled marriage—based on love that not only endures but actually grows stronger year after year.

Our Three to Get Married course satisfies the Pre-Cana requirement for those in the Archdiocese of New York, the Diocese of Bridgeport, and others by pastoral permission. It is suggested that you register at least 6 months before your wedding. Overnight accommodation is not included.
This year we are offering two options, a One-day program in September 2023 and a Two-day program in April 2024. Both options cover all the necessary Pre-Cana requirements, but the two-day program will be enriched with additional talks, additional opportunities for confession, and enhanced reflective moments. Both programs end with mass.
