PreCana Ministry
PreCana is  a program  for engaged couples designed to cover topics that will help them in their married life.  It consists of 5 two hour sessions led by a trained married couple with an individual engaged couple.  The engaged couple prepares for each session by completing  readings and answering questions from a workbook.  Through group discussions of the workbook topics and questions, sharing of the facilitators own experiences, and personal reflection, engaged couples are guided through topics useful for a successful future marriage.  Some of the topics presented are; understanding the families we came from, the changing nature of marriage, personal growth, mutual decision-making, the elements of effective communication, conflict management, intimacy and expression of love, financial planning, marital spirituality,  essential elements of a Christian marriage, family planning, and parenting.
