Would you like to enhance your parish marriage preparation ministry? An assessment tool like Prepare & Enrich is an important part of the marriage preparation process. This training is suitable for lay individuals, married couples, and clergy.

Do you feel a special call to minister to those who have experienced loss? The Diocese has developed a 7-week Grief Recovery Series that is meant to be facilitated at parishes. To become a facilitator of this series, you simply need to be a caring, faithful person who wants to help others. Having experienced loss yourself can add an even stronger connection with the ministry. This training supports both new facilitators and seasoned facilitators who want to refresh their knowledge of this ministry.
