Living Our Faith in Love®
Pre-Cana
Personalized Catholic marriage preparation with a relationship inventory, NFP education, and certificate support, while reducing the local coordination load.
Catholic Marriage Formation
Restructuring? Doing more with less?
When parishes merge, staff roles expand, and formation programs centralize, The Marriage Group® helps ministry leaders continue serving couples without adding more local administration.
A practical conversation about what is changing in your parish or diocese and where outside support may help.
Ministry Leaders
Keep serving couples without adding more to your plate.
You stay focused on accompaniment. We help handle the formation experience.
Doing More With Less
You do not have to (re)build everything yourself.
The goal is not to replace pastoral accompaniment. It is to make sure your limited ministry time is spent where your presence matters most.
Administrative Relief in Practice
"It made the administrative side of marriage prep significantly easier to manage, and it was reassuring to know that the couples were genuinely enjoying the courses rather than viewing preparation as a burden."
Fr. Paul Yi
Pastor, St. George Catholic Church
Diocese of Baton Rouge
LESS ADMINISTRATION. MORE TIME FOR ACCOMPANIMENT.
How We Help
Three ways to support couples when local capacity changes.
NFP Life®
Natural family planning education
Approachable NFP education couples can complete on their own schedule, with clear parish and diocesan referral pathways.
Marriage Every Day®
Ongoing Catholic formation
Catholic marriage formation after the wedding, helping leaders offer continued support without building a new local program from scratch.
Where Support Helps
Practical help for familiar restructuring realities.
Parishes are merging
Staff roles are consolidating
Volunteer capacity is shrinking
Programs are centralizing
Couples live somewhere else
How It Works
A clear path for leaders and couples.
01
You refer the couple.
Your parish or diocese keeps the pastoral relationship and gives couples a clear next step, at no cost to your parish or diocese.
02
We guide them through the experience.
The Marriage Group provides the online formation path, communication, and certificate support.
03
You stay focused on accompaniment.
Your limited ministry time can stay with the conversations, discernment, and care that need your presence.
The technology and content support the ministry. They do not replace the ministry.
Budget Reality
There is no cost to your parish or diocese.
Couples register and pay for their own formation with The Marriage Group. Your parish or diocese does not purchase a program, a license, or a membership.
When budgets are stretched, serving couples should not be the line item that disappears.
