Pre-Cana is a ministry offered to engaged couples being married in the Church. It is a team effort by a group of happily married couples, committed to Christian marriage, who are willing to share with and minister to engaged couples.
The Nativity Pre-Cana ministry meets one to two Saturdays a year with engaged couples to discuss the many aspects of a good marriage. Sessions are open to all couples in the area. Meetings include a large and a small group dynamic.
Training for new team members is provided at Nativity parish by the current team. Activities and responsibilities are multi-faceted and opportunities exist for anyone willing to help as speaker couples, discussion leader couples, refreshment buyers (paid for by Nativity), or volunteer babysitters for team couples who have young children.

Parish children (ages 4 years through fifth grade) participate in a unique and exciting biblical exploration for one week in the summer. Students in sixth grade through high school participate as leaders. Youth and adult leaders guide everyone through storytelling, music, science, snack, and recreation – all based on Bible stories! There is also a mission component where children learn how to help our neighbors in Christ locally and globally.
