Re: Pre-Cana

The priest told us to try and do it six months before, so I guess we'll be waiting till 2010 to do it. But I don't think it really matters when you go, as long as you can show the priest you did it.

The priest we dealt with told us we can do it anytime.

Re: Pre-Cana

I'm having such issues with this right now and I really don't know why. When I booked my church ,y priest told us that we would be in this springs precana class, so it starts in march. 2 weeks ago I called up the women in charge of it and she finally just called me back today and left a message saying something about some paper that the priest needs to give to her before they set anything up and she needs to check if he has my paper. IDK they're getting me nervous, I tried calling her back but she was gone soooo I have to wait till tomorrow am to figure this whole thing out.

We're signed up for April 30, May 7, and May 14. My church does three days and then we're done. Unfortunately the last day falls on FH's birthday, but oh well. What better present for him than being able to marry me!

FOCCUS is the compatibility 'test' that you and FH take. I believe it is required in all Catholic churches. I'm not getting married at your church - I'm getting married at St. Pat's in Bay Shore... but we were told that we could do Pre-Cane at any church we wanted. This is really impt to me since I'm moving to Florida in July for med school... Do you know if your church would allow others to do their Pre-Cana there?? I'd love to go to a one-weekend Pre-Cana but in most churches there are at least four meetings so your situation would be ideal.

Focus is a Long Island pre cana thing. I know that the brooklyn-queens dioceses does not require it so since you are going to the immac center you dont have to worry about it

Re: Pre-Cana

Foccus is only something done by the Rockville Centre Diocese. If you are getting married at a church in the Brooklyn Diocese, you don't have to worry about it.

My last pre-cana class is this Friday night. My priest told me the sooner I take it, the better off I am. It was 3 weeks, 2 hours each. We had our choice of Friday night or Tuesday night, but because FH has his MBA classes on Tuesday night, we had to go on Friday.

Christina is right, pre cana can be done anywhere in the world. if you wanted to go to Rome to do pre-cana, you can.
