Effective preparation for the sacrament of matrimony is an essential element that the Diocese of Brooklyn is called to provide.

The diocesan Marriage Preparation or “Pre-Cana” classes are presented in English, Spanish, Creole, Polish, and Italian. We also have specialized Pre-Cana for Interfaith/Interchurch couples, for couples who are re-marrying, and for couples who are convalidating their civil unions.

For any Questions about Pre-Cana, Interfaith marriages, and getting married in the Catholic Church, click here to visit our diocesan Pre-Cana registration website or call us at 718-281-9540, or email us at precana@diobrook.org to learn more.
