St. Thomas The Apostle Parish offers a diocesan-sanctioned marriage preparation program. The program takes five months to complete, so it's advisable to contact us at least 6 months before your intended wedding date. There is a one-time registration fee of $20 per couple, payable at any time during your enrollment in the program. You can pay in cash or personal check (made payable to St. Thomas The Apostle Parish).
We meet once a month, usually on the first Sunday of the month* in the basement meeting room of the St. Therese Rectory at 9:30 a.m. There are five sessions needed to complete the program -- Communications, Marriage & Finance, Theology of Marriage & Sexuality, Parenting and Growth In Marriage. The sessions are presented in a cyclical manner, so couples can begin at any point in the cycle, but need to attend each session to successfully complete the course. Participants need not be St. Thomas parishioners. To enroll, please contact Terry & Michele Shields, program coordinators, either via email ([email protected]) or call 412 462-9976.
* The actual date of a session might vary, depending on such things as holidays, holy days or other scheduling conflicts.
