Please keep in mind that attendance at marriage preparation classes is only one part of the requirements for marriage preparation in the Catholic Church.

Newman Center marriage skills classes are held once per semester on one Friday evening and one Saturday. Attendance is required for both days.

Classes on the following topics are presented by guest speakers:

• The Sacrament of Marriage
• Personality
• Family of Origin (our first families)
• Navigating Shared Time, Money, and Household Chores
• The Basics of Budgeting and Investing
• Money and Marriage
• Communication Skills
• Conflict Resolution
• Deepening Couple Spirituality
• Building a Faith-Filled Family

Classes are held in the Siena Room of the All Saints Catholic Newman Center, 230 E. University Drive, Tempe. The Siena Room is located in the main building to the west of the Old Church, upstairs on the left. Attendance is required at all sessions.

If you are participating in the full marriage preparation program, classes are an additional $50 for students and members and $100 for non-members. Otherwise, a $150 class fee is payable by cash or check at the first session.

You may register for classes. We limit our classes to 15 couples per series, and priority is given to ASU students and members of the Newman Center. Couples are expected to attend all sessions.
