He talked about some of it, then gave us a pamphlet with the rest of the 'rules.' They also mentioned it during pre-cana.

ETA: another benefit - pre-cana was REALLY easy. 3 2-hour sessions and we were done. No FOCCUS, no seminar, done in 6 hours, in and out

St. Boniface in Elmont
$600

nothing thrown in or out and i think you cannot have aisle runner

also if you have any alter arrangements they need to stay
