Life Choice Winding Up - Four Weekends Left in 2010

Posted: Tue. Jun 29, 2010 3:56 pm

The Office of Marriage and Family Life has just completed the June session of the Life Choice pre-Cana program. The next weekend summer session will be August 21, 2010. Our fall sessions begin September 25 and include October 23, and will wind up the year with the last one for 2010, November 20.

All Life Choice retreats are held on Saturdays. This year all weekends except one were held in the Small Auditorium at the Catholic Life Center as has been our standard meeting place for the last several years. In 2011 we will hold the Life Choice weekends in Room 206 in the Tracy Center except for the month of January and June - (location TBA).

At this new meeting site, we will have a space which includes tables and chairs rather than theatre style seating. This format will give couples a better opportunity to have one on one discussion, more interactive couple to couple time and room to complete worksheets.

Any interested couple who wishes to attend a Life Choice weekend should contact their parish church office and request the registration form "Before, During and After". Dates, fees and instructions on how to register, plus phone numbers for this program and all other marriage programs are included.

If you have questions you can contact Mila Gernon, Coordinator at 242-0164 at the diocesan office.
