Brides who married at St. Josephs Ronkonoma???

My questions regarding PreCana / Engaged Encounter....

ok so ive heard a couplegirls talk about 'engaged encounter' as opposed to Precana....a weekend retreat with FH basically

WELLL i saw in the St. Josephs marriage preparation guide thing in the Precana section that Engaged Encounter is mentioned, but not with many details, so i got all excited cuz i wanna do it!!!

so i called St. Joes church to ask the details (when, how much, how long, how do i sign up??) and the lady (who was SO RUDEEEEEE) tells me that i have to do precana......................so i said 'i knowwww, but what about the encounter? i want to know about that, im interested in doing that'

she said i have to go to precana and then i can find out about doing the engaged encounter..........

I THOUGHT IT WAS ONE OR THE OTHER?????????????????

is she full of cr@p?????? did any of you do engaged encounter with St. Joseph's and if so, did you ONLY do that or did u do Precana as well??

TIA

I'm getting married at St. Josephs too. Just looked at my paperwork and it seems very vague. It appears as though you can do one over the other. Maybe you can call the woman and ask to speak to Fr. Mike. They'll probably just take a message and he'll call you back, but he would obviously know more than them.
We'll probably sign up for the October pre-cana. Still have to get on that. Maybe we'll be in pre-cana together
