MPC is for couples who are seriously contemplating marriage, who want to
be sure that they are ready for marriage and that they are suited for each
other. It is for couples who wish to avoid "surprises" after
marriage by preparing for that marriage. The couse should be attended
preferably before your engagement is formally announced and at least 6 months
before the wedding date.

Any couple planning to get married is welcomed to attend. The couple need not be Catholic. The course is Catholic in its theology of marriage as a Sacrament of the Church, but couples of all Faiths can benefit from attending the course and are encouraged to it.

Yes. MPC emphasizes communication between couples. Presentations are given
to the group as a whole, but your couple discussions are private. You are
encouraged to concentrate on your partner and to get in touch with your
deepest and honest feelings when discussing a variety of topics.

MPC provides the opportunity for you to be open with your partner - a time
together to talk honestly about your future lives. The course will also help
you to know yourself in the areas where you are vulnerable, your needs and
your expectations. You will also learn to discover your partner's strengths
and weaknesses. These discussions will enable you to know each other more
intimately. You will then understand why both of you behave the way you do
and the likely consequences of this on your future life together as husband
and wife.

Four MPC courses will be held each year. Each courses runs for six consecutive weeks, comprising three (half day) Sunday morning sessions at St Joseph 's Institution (SJI) and three other (half day) sessions which are held at the homes of Presenting Couples on weekends. There is a fair amount of preparation that needs to be done in between sessions. As every session builds upon the previous sessions into an integrated programme, no part of the course should be missed. Please plan accordingly for the duration of the course (eg. during the course period, please do not plan a very hectic schedule, overseas trips, etc) so as to allow your fullest participation. Thank you.
For dates of courses held in year 2008 and 2009, please see Course
