Sponsor Couples - This is a parish-based program of marriage preparation in which a married "sponsor" couple is paired with an engaged couple from the parish.
What happens in sponsor couple meetings?
The sponsor couple will guide the engaged couple through discussions of important topics related to marriage in a series of meetings, which are usually held in the home of the sponsor couple.
Is there any literature to buy?
Most of the sponsor couples in our Diocese use the book, "For Better and For Ever" by Fr. Robert Ruhnke, C.SS.R., which is a book that was specially designed for use with sponsor couples. Fr. Ruhnke also has a website, www.marriagepreparation.com, that offers online ordering and more information.
How do I sign up for this program?
If you are an engaged couple interested in this program for marriage preparation, please contact your parish. If you are a married couple interested in becoming a sponsor couple, contact your parish or Catholic Charities for more information |
