Pm 502 - Pastoral Care for Marriage and Families (3 credits)
Tuesdays 7:00-9:00 PM
§ Taught by Ms. Mary Caprio
The purpose of the course is to understand the need for lifelong formation in the areas of marriage and family. The vision of John Paul II, and Pope Francis, and other authors stress that preparation for marriage begins early. It continues through the immediate preparation prior to the wedding with support necessary throughout the life of a marriage and family. Every area of ministry (catechetical, youth, social, etc.) should play a role in this formation. This vision also involves an understanding of the family as a system of relationships that develop and change over time.
