Marriage Preparation Lead Couple Ministry  —  This ministry is for married couples interested in assisting engaged couples with marriage preparation. Lead Couples leave a lasting impression with the engaged by using their experience, training and faith to strengthen marriages.  This ministry doesn’t strive on a “perfect” marriage, but a healthy marriage with a strong commitment to continued growth in your relationship. We ask our lead couples to volunteer to work at least two Marriage Preps each year.  You will receive all of the materials and training needed to lead small group activities/discussions.
This ministry currently thrives with a community of  20 couples throughout our diocese who are excited to welcome more married couples into this growing ministry.

Parish FOCCUS Couple Ministry — This ministry provides married couples, priests and deacons with the knowledge to administer the FOCCUS instrument and discuss specific topics with an engaged couple from your church parish. As a FOCCUS facilitator, you will guide the engaged couples assigned to you from your parish. If you would like to assist your church parish with this ministry, please call your church parish.  FOCCUS Training Dates: Part 1/Thursday, April 15, 2010, Part 2/Thursday, April 22, 2010. Meeting times are 5:30pm—8:30pm. Registration required to attend the FOCCUS training.

Ways you can get involved!

If you are interested in assisting with family ministry on a parish level or a diocesan level, we would love to talk with you!

FOCCUS

Facilitating Open Couple Communication, Understanding and Study

This instrument is designed to help couples learn more about themselves, and encourages open discussion and communication. It is a tool designed to help couples name and work through issues before marriage.

THE FOCCUS TRAINING PROGRAM
    * Will provide married couples with the knowledge to administer the FOCCUS tool and discuss specific topics with an engaged couple from your church parish.

    * As a FOCCUS facilitator, you will guide the engaged couples assigned to you from your parish. It can be administered to one couple or a group of couples, but it is usually best to meet with one couple at a time.

FOCCUS was developed in 1985 by three marriage and family counselors. It is a  self-diagnostic inventory designed to help couples learn more about themselves and their unique relationship.

If you would like to assist your church parish with this ministry, please call our office at 985-850-3129
