I love my church and diocese BUT...can someone explain to me WHY we have to pay an additional $250 for Pre-Cana on top of the $360 we will be 'donating' to the church? | |||

Re: I love my church and diocese BUT...I don't understand why they call it donation if its a set amount. They should just call it a fee.

Re: I love my church and diocese BUT...I'm not sure how much my donation is going to be yet but my priest told me that since I live far from my home church that I can do the pre-cana at another church and then all that church would have to do is sign a form for me and my home church would accept that. See if your church will do that too rather than have to fly to New York. Just an idea. | |||

Re: I love my church and diocese BUT...cw0904 - which pre-cana are you doing? If we wanted to do the Engaged Weekend Encounter (which FI was firmly against) that was an extra $250, but the normal pre-cana where we meet at a married couple's house is only costing us $20pp. Is there another Pre-Cana option you can choose which might be less $$???

Re: I love my church and diocese BUT...We talked to the church about doing it elsewhere but since I am in NY they insists we do it here. Now if I move to MI where he is now we can do it there. But since I am here now they want us to do it here.

Re: I love my church and diocese BUT...Do you also have to pay for music because that is a seperate expense also for us... All to be married in the eyes of god... Then don't forget the donation envelopes that they send to the house..

Re: I love my church and diocese BUT...we're getting married in my church that i have grown up in. the church wants $500. I had to give a $100 deposit which is refundable on the day of my wedding pending everything runs smoothly and on time. If i am late (according to the church clock that means if i am 1 minute late) they keep that $100 dollars. If i am on time and things run smoothly the $100 is given back to us. but its just going to be returned back to the priest and alter boys. so technically whats the sense of saying we'll give you back your deposit. so i just tell everyone its $500 dollars. WAIT, I still have to pay $150 for the organist. The organist is not included. So I am now up to $650 for the church including the organist. | |||

Re: I love my church and diocese BUT...all these stories are so disheartening. The church should really marry people for free it is their job for God's sake. I've had my own dealings with the RFC diocese and I can honestly tell you---it is all about money and it makes me so disappointed in them | |||

Re: I love my church and diocese BUT...We paid $125 as a couple for our pre-cana which is a one-shot deal all day on one Saturday in the Brooklyn Diocese. We are doing it at some dicoesan place in Douglaston. CW - we are getting married at Christ the King in the RVC Diocese but doing pre-cana in Queens. Our priest said that was fine - he didn't care where we did it, as long as did it.

Re: I love my church and diocese BUT...We were able to do our pre-cana in NJ at my DH's church. It was a lot cheaper. I think my church wanted $150 per couple and we ended up paying like $75 per couple in Jersey. I was a member of Our Lady of Lourdes Church in Malverne- part of the RVC diocese. All we had to have was a Pre-Cana certificate from any Catholic Church. They didn't care.

Posted 2/1/03 12:04 PM 
we will be paying about 1200-1500 before we have to pay for the premarital counseling we have to go to. We are still not sure if he will have to spend an additional 250$ just to fly to NY for the Saturday class. They only offer the class 4 times a year (dec, march, may, sept) No matter when we do it - it will be when he is in school.
I will try the Deacon too.
