Engaged Couples

Engaged Couples offers marriage preparation to engaged couples of the parish. Its goals is to challenge engaged couples to realistically envision their relationship as vital and growing — a vocation to which both individuals must be committed if it is to succeed. The Engaged Couples Program tries to communicate our parish’s love and concern for them and our appreciation of the uniqueness they bring to our community of faith. It also invites members of our parish to pray for those engaged couples participating in the program.

The Engaged Couples Program offers a series of four small-group preparation sessions here at St. Kieran Parish. At these meetings, couples engage in personal reflection and dialogue, which promotes discovery of each other through honest and open communication about various topics. Programs are held four times each year. Engaged couples are asked to register at least 9 months prior to their wedding date. The parish priest will provide information about this program when a couple meets with him to set their wedding date.
