Nassau County Pre-Cana

Does anyone know where I can get info? We are moving to Garden City next month and have to change our pre-cana from NYC to what I assume is the RVC archiocese - any info appreciated!

I called the Diocese of RC the other day. they only gave me info about the 'engaged encounter' which is a weekend away at a retreat center. (Um, no thanks) It costs $350!!

So I would start calling parishes in the GC area and see what they have to offer. Try this website for local church phone numbers: My Church & Town
Since we can't make the pre-cana my church offers, I've been calling around trying to find one that fits our schedule.

When we started looking for Churches, we just went into the local ones in our towns and said we were considering getting married there.

We met with a priest and discussed pre-cana in that meeting. We did that in his Church and mine. I'm not a parishoner there but I live in the town so that's all you need. They did ask me to register as one but it's no big deal.

Re: Nassau County Pre-Cana

Either talk to the church you're getting married in or the priest that is marrying you or call the Diocese of Rockville Centre (which includes Garden City) at 516-678-5800.

Thanks girls - I knew you'd be a wealth of knowledge - I think we are moving east (just east by a couple of houses) of nassua blvd so maybe that's st. joe's? I'll make some calls - thanks again for the info...
