Pre-Cana
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pre-Cana is a course or consultation Catholic couples must undergo before they can be married in a Catholic church. The name is derived from John 2:1-12, the wedding feast at Cana in Galilee, where Jesus performed the miracle of turning water into wine.
Approaches to Pre-Cana vary among Catholic parishes. In some cases the couple is interviewed by a priest, who tries to ascertain whether the couple has avoided pre-marital sex, and whether they intend to have children and raise them Catholic.
