“…Being together and knowing how to love forever is
the challenge of Christian spouses. I am reminded of the
miracle of the multiplication of the bread: for you, the Lord
can multiply your love and give it to you fresh and good every
day. He has an endless supply! He gives you the love that is
the foundation of your marriage and every day he renews it,
strengthens it. It makes it even greater when the family grows
with children.”
Pope Francis to Couples Preparing for Marriage, St. Peter’s
Square, Feb. 14, 2014 |

Many times the Pre-Cana classes are just day or
weekend and actually the couple needs a little more
preparation to build a strong foundation for their marriage.
This show will give some practical advice and a great
testimony! |

The Kitchen Madonna:
Patroness of The

Her utensils are earthly and heavenly symbols. The key
represents the safety in the house and also the way
into heaven. The kettle symbolizes nourishment for
body and soul. The broom represents cleanliness in the
home and in thoughts and deeds.
