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.

In the SDWL\, more than 2\,000 participants of diverse cultures and faiths gather to publicly bear witness to the sacredness of life and to stand up for the rights of the unborn. Through their testimony\, God changes hearts and saves lives. To liven up the event\, we will have inspirational speakers\, exhibitors\, activities for children\, and live entertainment. \n  \n  \nInspired by Jeremiah 1:5 (Before I formed you in the womb I knew you\, before you were born\, I consecrated you)\, 2026’s theme is “Known\, Created\, and Loved in the Womb” to emphasize the divine plan and God’s intimate knowledge of individuals from their earliest moments of existence. From the moment of conception\, God has a plan and a mission for each person. As Jeremiah’s mission was to become a prophet to the nations\, each intrinsically valuable baby in the womb has a special mission\, but they have to be born to discover it. \n  \nConsider showing your life-affirming spirit by walking with Bishop Michael Pham\, Bishop Ramon Bejarano\, Bishop Felipe Pulido and other faith leaders. You also contribute to the success of the Walk by praying\, by promoting it\, and by bringing a group of parishioners representing your parish. \nKeynote Speaker: Kairy MarquezLive Music and Entertainment: Kairy Marquez \nAll Are Welcome! \n \n Visit Website\n \n \n Get Promotional Materials\n \n \n Download Program\n \nKairy Marquez (Keynote speaker) \n \nKairy is a Latina worship leader born in the Dominican Republic\, raised in NYC\, and now lives in Atlanta. She has recorded two Spanish albums\, “Volar” and “Incondicional”\, and has traveled to many countries to share the Gospel and to lead people to encounter and adore Jesus. Kairy holds a Master’s Degree in Human Resources from the State University of New York (SUNY) at Stony Brook as well as a diploma for Lay Pastoral Ministry program administered by the Pastoral Institute of the Diocese of Brooklyn\, New York. She has been married to Edwin and have three boys. \n  \nAs an adult\, she learned that her mom was asked to abort Kairy because she was a young single mother living in a third world country. However\, she chose life and have Kairy. \n  \nWhen Kairy was pregnant with her first son\, her doctor informed her that the baby might have spina-bifida and that he will have many health issues suggesting her to stop the pregnancy.  Her baby was born without spina bifida\, but she would have loved him the same if he was born with it. Her second son is on the autism spectrum\, and it has been a joy to care for him. Her three sons have been gifts from God. \n \n \n \n \nVolunteers \nThe San Diego Walk for Life is fast approaching.
