Mission Statement
We come together, guided by the Holy Spirit to:
Enlighten and enrich the hearts of engaged couples
Live and transmit the truths of the faith
Intentionally grow and walk together as a mission of service
Fully understand and accept God’s plan of a Christ-centered covenant through the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony
The TIME ministry is made up of 4-5 couples who work together guided by the mission statement, to formulate a marriage preparation program designed to prepare and sustain marriages in the Catholic Church. The program is made up of six modules, as well as action-oriented required events. Each classroom module is facilitated by a team couple with the support of other team members present.
