2019 Marriage Prep

This retreat is for engaged couples and serves as the required pre-cana program the in Diocese of Worcester and most other Dioceses. Over the course of the weekend, you will have the opportunity to listen to the experiences of four married couples, have time alone and together as a couple to reflect on your hopes for your marriage, engage in meaningful coversations with your future spouse, and learn more about the sacrament of marriage and the Catholic wedding liturgy. This program is for all couples getting married at Holy Cross and for couples who are not getting married on the campus but at least one of whom is an alum of the College.
