St. Mary of Vernon’s Marriage Preparation Ministry is directed by married couples from the parish who meet with engaged couples to discuss topics of interest and things that concern people approaching marriage in contemporary society. Gatherings, which are scheduled on a Friday evening and Saturday afternoon, take place in a casual and relaxed atmosphere. This ministry offers a parish-based alternative to the Archdiocesan Pre-Cana program.  

For more information about marriage preparation, please contact the Parish Office at 847-362-1005.
