catholic brides - when did you schedule pre cana?

How soon after meeting with the priest did you schedule your pre cana?

Our church's calendar indicates they have programs scheduled into next spring. Should I go ahead and schedule it now?

ETA - We have already met with the priest and set the date, etc.

I would probably schedule it now.

I had scheduled mine for last month because I wanted to be early and I wanted to avoid possible bad weather in January 07. Well, as it turns out, they scheduled out Pre-Cana at the incorrect location. We ended up going there for NOTHING!!!

Ours is now rescheduled for January. so much for planning.

Yes, schedule it earlier vs later.

well we booked our Church September of 2004 for our March 2006 wedding. The priest told us to wait for the Fall 2005 session because the Spring 2005 will be for all the summer brides.

I just got my pre cana info and will be booking as soon as we decide WHICH of the precana courses to take (we'd prefer the one day, but if we can't find that, then we'll do one of the two days).

My pamphlett says that you have to indicate your first choice and your second choice and to register at least 2 months in advance. About 2 weeks after they receive your registration form, they'll let you know which you have been assigned to.

We're going to try to register for February or March to get it done and out of the way.

We met with the priest December 2005 for a January 2007 wedding. We did our pre-cana in August 2006. If you have the time to do it now i woudl just schedule it to get it over with and have one less thing to worry about.

We did pre-cana in March 2006 for our November 2006 wedding. We wanted to have it completed before the real craziness set in with having to do everything.

I am going to try to schedule it after the New Year because next fall is going to be crazy with our schedule. I would like to do it as soon as possible.

Because we are interfaith and doing it in Queens (don't know how LI is) but there aren't many dates to chose from. They do it like every 3 or 4 months in Queens.

As soon as I got the date from our Pastor, I scheduled our pre cana. I wanted it done and over with. I ended up actually really liking the whole experience.
