Welcome to the Marriage Preparation Events page! Now that you've attended your first meeting at your parish to begin the marriage prep process, you're ready to register for a Pre-Cana class.
The events listed on this page are open to all engaged couples marrying in the Catholic Church and are available on a first come - first served basis. For couples in which both parties are marrying for the first time (no prior marriages), we offer parish Pre-Cana conferences or diocesan Pre-Cana conferences; while some conferences are completed in one day, others are offered in sessions over the course of a few days. Participation in any of the Pre-Cana events listed on this page will fulfill the instructional session requirement for marriage preparation in the Diocese of Trenton.
Please Note: For couples in which one or both parties were married before, whether civilly or in a church service, the "To Trust Again" remarriage workshop (offered twice a year in the Spring and Fall), is the required marriage preparation option.
