Pre-Cana Seminar at the OLCP

The Pre-Cana Seminar or sometimes called as the Engaged Encounter Seminar is one of the requirements for Catholic weddings in the Philippines. During these seminars, the couples will have the chance to listen to resource speakers who will talk about the wedding vows, the married life, and the sacrament of Marriage, among other things.

We had our Pre-Cana Seminar last August 18 at the OLCP and we sure learned a lot from the experiences shared by our 3 resource couples who shared with us practical tips about relationships with your husband/wife, in-laws, and how to deal with issues often encountered by married couples.

The Seminar lasted for about three hours! Thanks to six speakers who made the Seminar very interesting and fun for all of us!.:)

Jayjay's Kumpil: Check na Check :)

One of the church requirements for marriage is the couple's certificates of confirmation. Since we are in that period in the wedding preps when we try to complete all our documentary requirements, we looked for a church right away for Jayjay's kumpil!

Thanks to "sleeplesslass" blogsite, we were able to learn about the National Shrine of St. Michael the Archangel in Malacanang. I think the church is very popular to soon-to-wed couples because of their regular Kumpil ceremonies.:) They have regular confirmation ceremonies every Thursday and Sunday. Confirmation fee is PhP600.00 and certificates are given right after the ceremony.
