Special Marriage Preparation

The Archdiocese of New Orleans Office of Marriage and Family Life will host a Special Marriage Preparation Seminar on Saturday, January 30, 2027 from 9 AM – 4 PM at the Moreau Center, Fontainebleau Ministry Center (65 Fontainebleau Drive, New Orleans, LA 70125).
  
 The cost for this Seminar is $95 per couple.

Special Marriage Preparationis a one-day seminar for couples who are either:

• Married civilly and are now convalidating their marriage to be a Catholic Sacramental one 
• Engaged to be married and have already been living together for a substantial period of time and are engaged to be married 
• Or have a different circumstance as determined by a priest, deacon, or ministry team member. 

Couples who register for Special Marriage Preparation will attend with couples registered for the Day for the Engaged Session B, since the topics discussed mostly apply to your marital situations as it does to first-time engaged couples. Some presentation points have been adapted to include relevant information for couples like you. 

A Certificate of Completion will be given to you at the end of the session to show proof of attendance for your sacramental marriage preparation process.
