A Ministry for Married Couples of St. Mark
Sponsor Couple Ministry
Being a mentor couple for an engaged couple who is preparing for sacramental marriage enriches the engaged and also your own marriage! Sponsors are assigned an engaged couple to assist them with their marriage preparation. Step-by-step program materials are used. Training is provided for Sponsor Couple Programs at St. Mark's and can choose what fits you and your family best.
Sponsor Program Options:
Together In Love
Mentoring an engaged couple by participating with them in an RCIA-like program of marriage preparation called TOGETHER IN LOVE. The process consists of three (3) one-on-one sponsor couple sessions and 1 1/2 day Marriage Preparation Retreat held at St. Mark Parish. Childcare is provided for children of the Sponsor Couple during the Weekend Retreat. The prepartation gives both the engaged and their sponsor an appreciation of the importance of sacramental marriage.
In Faithful Love
Assisting an Engaged Couple in a one-on-one setting within the Sponsor Couple's home. Sessions are scheduled at both couple' convenience. There are three (3) sessions if the Engaged Couple also attends the Engaged Encounter Weekend of the diocese. Five (5) sessions required if the Engaged Couple is not attending the weekend.
