SUMMARY:Witness to Love and Beyond: A Workshop for Parish Marriage Formation Leaders
DESCRIPTION:Marriage Formation is an essential parish ministry that seeks to accompany couples on their journey to the sacrament and into missionary discipleship. This workshop is an opportunity for all parish marriage formation leaders to gather for renewal, clarity, and encouragement. \nDuring our time together, we will:\n\nReview the diocesan process for marriage formation, including specific guidelines for engaged and civilly married couples.\nExplore practical ways to enhance and deepen the impact of the Witness to Love process in your parish.\nDiscuss best practices for accompanying our couples well, from the first meeting to their wedding day, and beyond.\nProvide an opportunity for you to ask questions, share challenges, and learn from other parish leaders in our diocese.\n\nThis workshop is ideal for parishes that need a “refresher” on the what, why and how of the marriage formation process, as well as for those just beginning to implement Witness to Love. The workshop will be led by Deanna Johnston (Director of Family Life) and Norma Alzamora (Marriage Formation Specialist and Witness to Love Parish Support Team Leader). Bishop Kelly will also join us to offer encouragement and support.\nNote: Parish leaders will get the most out of this workshop if at least one person from your parish team already completed the online Witness to Love training. If you are unable to complete the online training prior to attending you are still welcome to join us for this workshop.\nQuestions? Contact Deanna Johnston in the Office of Family Life: djohnston@dioceseoftyler.org; (903)630-5055 Ext 120\n
