The Sacrament of Marriage: Dating, Discernment and Living an Enriched Sacramental Married Life

Please join us for our next Young Adult Discussion Night as we focus on the Sacrament of Marriage. We will be meeting in inside the main church. The talk will be relevant for those who are dating or discerning whether they are called to married life, as well as engaged and married couples who wish to enrich the sacramental aspect of their relationship.
We are pleased to welcome 3 wonderful guest speakers for our discussion. First, Father Joe Kim, Director of Vocations and Evangelization for the Diocese of San Jose. Fr Joe has been part of the diocesan effort to address the changing demographics of our diocese, especially with respect to the young people in the Catholic Church. We also welcome Paul & Stephanie Francois. In addition to serving at their parish (Holy Spirit), they also serve the larger Church in Marriage Ministry as a presenting team for Worldwide Marriage Encounter, Marriage Preparation, and as volunteers at Sacred Heart Community Service. Paul & Stephanie currently serve as the coordinators for training all new presenting team couples and priests for Marriage Encounter in the United States and Canada. They met at Santa Clara University, were married in the Mission Church in 1986 and have two young adult children.
Please help us spread the word for this event!
