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 (4) weekly classes and it costs $30.00.
It was $100 for the one day class.
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 know we paid under $100.00 for a one day Sat session. That included lunch and breakfast.
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.
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.
We did that in one day, that was the Foccus part for us to get our date. but we still have to do precana after that
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.
