Re: Pre Cana

Oh wow that is really cheap. Can you go to any church, or do you have to go to the one you are getting married at?

Re: Pre Cana

We paid $300 it was through the Diocese of Rockville Centre. They have several schedules that might accomodate you.

Re: Pre Cana

We paid $60 for one day at St Thomas in Hempstead. It was GREAT! I would give them a call for sure, you can go to Pre Cana anywhere you like. You just need to provide the cert to your church to prove you went.

Re: Pre Cana

Ours was $175, but you have to think about what it includes. Usually the cheaper ones are classes over a few weeks. Ours was a weekend thing, we didn't have to stay over but it included 2 big meals and snacks throughout, so that's really what you're paying for!
