The Holy Face Marriage Preparation Classes are held on an as needed basis. If you are planning to get married please contact the Pastor for Class times. 
Our classes are based on the Transformed in Love program.  It was developed in the Archdiocese of Boston and used in numerous Dioceses in the United States.
 
Our program consists of four 2-hour classes that are held locally at the parish.  There is a nominal fee of $20 to cover the cost of books and other materials. The dates and times are determined by the couple attending the classes.  
 
Transformed in Love: The Basics
Marriage is a pathway to holiness. It is a vocation through which couples come to know, love, and serve God. Through marriage, as through the other sacraments, God helps us become the best version of ourselves and more and more transformed in love.
Transformed in Love uses a “house building” metaphor to illustrate the concepts of establishing, building, and nurturing marriage and family life. Transformed in Love uses a holistic approach—body, soul, intellect and will—to prepare the person for sacramental grace. The program proposes ways for couples to grow in wisdom (intellect), truth (will), skill (body/human formation), faith (soul/spiritual formation), and love (by God’s grace).
 
Transformed in Love includes the following topics:

• Self-knowledge
• Communication building skills
• Marital expectations
• Four types of love essential to marriage
• Marriage’s sacramental meaning, marriage vows, and the Rite of Marriage
• Financial assessment and planning
• Spiritual practices for marriage and family life
• Significance of the Mass
• Marital sexuality, including principles from Blessed John Paul II’s theology of the body and the topic of fertility and infertility
• How to make a marriage last a lifetime through guarding, revealing, and communicating love
