Katechezy weekendowe w j. angielskim (18 – 19.10.2025)

Marriage Preparation Course in English

For International Couples Getting Married in Poland

Are you planning a sacramental wedding in Poland and one of you doesn’t speak Polish? We warmly invite you to join our Pre-Marriage Catechesis in English – a special course designed for international couples preparing for the sacrament of marriage in the Catholic Church.

What will you learn?

During the course, we explore key aspects of Christian marriage and offer space for reflection and conversation about your shared journey:

1. Marriage as a sacrament – growing in love as an engaged and married couple
2. The ethics of married life – introduction to responsible parenthood
3. The role of confession – reconciliation in engagement and marriage; building a strong family community
4. Prayer & Eucharist – the mission and vocation of the Christian family today

Where and when?

The course takes place in the conference hall of the Family Support Foundation (Fundacja Towarzyszenia Rodzinie),
ul. Siostry Faustyny 70, Kraków.
