how much is Pre-Cana costing you???

I was just wondering how much it's costing for your Pre-Cana classes up there on Long Island? For me down here in North Carolina, it's going to cost us $100. Is that average?

We did the weekend retreat it was around $300 *NM*

It was $100 for the one day class.

Pre-Cana isn't free!! One more thing to add to the budget. *NM*

Our precana didn`t cost anything. Instead they asked us to donate some of our time to help out with a program they have for homeless women (took less than 1 hour). The monsignor told us that churches do not have to ask for payment and the cost is completely up to the individual church.

I paid $80 for an all day pre-cana *NM*

Yikes - We're paying $225 for a two day session! *NM*

$225 for us too! *NM*

I cant believe the variation in cost!!

I know we paid under $100.00 for a one day Sat session. That included lunch and breakfast.

we paid $30 for four seperate sessions *NM*

we paid $60 for 4 in-home sessions with host couples

We paid $60 for the in home sessions, which amounted to a total of one intro class, 4 sessions (communications, decision-making, sexuality and spirituality) and a final Mass that was our 'graduation'. It wasn't that bad, we actually enjoyed outselves and never felt it to be intrusive.

For us...

The first session is orientation, then the second is taking a Focus Survey, the third, is meeting with a married couple at the church and going over the answers with them, and then the fourth is meeting with a priest and going over paperwork.

If you get married in the Catholic church, you are required to go to pre-marital 'counseling' before marriage. In my church, you meet with married couples and discuss issues that you'll face during marriage - finances, child-rearing, sex, etc.
