[quote=Anonymous]At all of the parishes we have lived in, pre canna classes are done by lay people, usually a married couple from the parish. When I did it (20 years ago, yikes), it was a two day retreat style weekend, with a host of speakers, break out sessions in smaller groups, and a lot of one onone time. Natural family planning was a part of this, but just one session and not the whole focus.

My sister was married recently, and her pre canna classes were more individualized couple sessions over a couple of weeksrun by a delightful elderly couple from the parish that had been married nearly fifty years. She and her non Catholic spouse ended up really enjoying their sessions and they (him especially) were VERY reluctant going in.

At our very conservative arlington diocese parish, I believe there are a handful of meetings with the priest but most of it is run by the layity.

I don't think I have ever actually met anyone who has done their pre canna counseling primarily or exclusively with a priest.[/quote]
