Printable Current Pre-Cana Schedule
As an online option to the diocesan Pre-Cana retreats, we are giving couples the option to take the online Beloved courses through the Augustine Institute. The courses you need to complete are Beloved: Mystery and Meaning of Marriage, and Beloved: Living Marriage. The total time to go through the courses, which include quizzes, should be about 7-8 hours and the cost is $60 total. At the conclusion of the courses, you will be able to print off a certificate of completion. You will need send a copy of the certificates to the Family Life Office ccastillo@dol-in.org. You will also need to contact Susan Hoefer shoefer@dol-in.org to set up a time when you can talk with a married mentor couple for about an hour to discuss the information that you went over in the Beloved programs. You can sign up for the Beloved courses here: https://sacraments.augustineinstitute.org/collections.
Contact Claudia Castillo if you have any questions or need additional information, at 765-269-4662 or 888-544-1684, or ccastillo@dol-in.org.
