When done early and well\, it enables the marriage prep minister and his team to much more effectively accompany and form the engaged couple for marriage. It also helps the marriage prep minister better assess that the couple is free to marry and that they truly understand what it is they are seeking. The FOCCUS is currently the preferred pre-marriage inventory in our diocese. It should be one of the first and earliest steps in the marriage prep process. We are here to help equip parishes to administer and facilitate this wonderful tool for their engaged couples.

DESCRIPTION:The marriage catechumenate is a new way of thinking about marriage prep. It is a holistic\, lifelong Catholic formation model for marriage that extends preparation before\, during\, and after the sacrament\, aiming to integrate couples into the community\, deepen their faith\, and provide ongoing accompaniment. Inspired by the journey of a catechumen in the Catholic Church and formalized by the Vatican’s “Catechumenal Pathways for Married Life\,” it emphasizes discipleship and evangelization through stages like proximate preparation\, final preparation\, and post-sacramental accompaniment\, often facilitated by mentor couples and parish involvement. \nIn other words\, marriage prep isn’t just a series of boxes to check off and documents to gather! \nPlease join us as we discuss and reflect on what the marriage catechumenate might look like in our own diocese and parishes.
