Marriage Preparation classes will be starting soon!  Marriage Prep instruction is comprised of several classes.  We will cover topics such as: Family of Origin, Finances, Marital Spirituality, Family Planning, and much more.  The course will also offer an extensive Communication Skills portion called PAIRS Essentials; whose mission is to teach those attitudes, emotional understandings, and behaviors that nurture and sustain healthy relationships and to make this knowledge broadly available on behalf of a safer, saner, more loving world.  

Any couple planning to get married between the months of July thru December of 2011 will need to attend the classes beginning January 23, 2011.  The course will be one Sunday per month for six months ending in June 2011.  The class times are from 2:30 pm – 6:30 pm and will be held at Holy Family Church in Room 5.  Couples must attend ALL of the classes in order to complete the Sacrament of Marriage requirements. These classes will be the ONLY classes offered until July 2011, so please plan accordingly!  The fee for the entire course is $75 per couple (which includes workbooks and Bible).

If you have any questions, please contact the Marriage Prep team at hfcmarriageprep101@yahoo.com.  To register for the class, contact Holy Family Church at 760-244-9180

What is FOCCUS?

FOCCUS is a pre-marital inventory designed to encourage couples to discuss a wide range of issues.   

Why use the FOCCUS Pre-Marriage Inventory?

It helps couples enhance their relationship by discussing important topics including communication, problem-solving, religion, dual careers, parenting, intimacy, finances and more!

Father John says it best, “…The FOCCUS test focuses in on topics that could become troublesome areas in a marriage if not dealt with during the engaged process.”  It does not provide any new information that the couple is not already aware of…it just puts it into black and white, therefore opening an empathetic forum to discuss the issues in a positive and problem- solving way.

With divorce still topping out at 50% of all marriages, we believe the FOCCUS test is another tool in the pre-marriage maintenance toolbox that will help drive the divorce rate down.

This test should be administered to couples prior to receiving marriage preparation.
