The Family Commission of the Diocese of
Chikmagalur successfully conducted a Marriage
Preparation Course on March 11-12, 2025, at
CMSSS, Hassan. The program was organized by the
Director, Rev. Fr. Alwin D'Souza, and the

with the objective of preparing couples for a
meaningful and faith-filled Catholic marriage.
A total of 36 participants attended the course,
including individuals from the Diocese of
Chikmagalur, various parts of Karnataka, and
even from outside the state. The sessions
covered essential topics on Catholic marriage,
with insights from nine experienced resource
persons who provided valuable guidance on the
sacramental, spiritual, psychological, and
practical aspects of married life.
Through interactive discussions, reflections,
and engaging presentations, the participants
were equipped with a deeper understanding of
their vocation to marriage and family life. The
course emphasized faith, commitment,
communication, and the responsibilities of
Christian couples in building strong and Christ-centered
families.

Reconciliation, Holy Mass and blessing for all
the participants, encouraging them to embrace
their call to married life with love and faith.

this event a success. May the Lord bless these
young couples as they prepare for their new
journey in life.
