Pre-Cana refers to courses that prepare Catholic couples for the sacrament of marriage. While programs vary among churches and diocese, most typically explore topics that create the foundation for a healthy marriage, including finances, children, careers, and commitment. By engaging in difficult conversations before marriage, pre-Cana programs equip couples with the tools they need to succeed. Programs can last from a day to several months, and are typically led by a priest or trained instructor. They might also involve an engaged encounter weekend retreat with other couples.
Sometimes simply called marriage prep, pre-Cana takes its name from the Biblical story of the wedding feast at Cana in Galilee, where Jesus turned water into wine.
