The Joined by Grace Program Manual gives directors of marriage preparation ministries everything they need to adapt the program to their parish or diocesan setting. The Program Manual includes: * A guide to getting started in your parish, including a sample timeline and how to decide what format is best for your parish * Tools for recruiting, selecting, and training mentor couples * Resource materials for addressing specific pastoral needs such as marriages between a Catholic and non-Catholic and working with couples already living together * "Marriage Matters" bulletin announcements that help keep the ministry visible to the entire parish community About Joined by Grace Joined by Grace was developed with one goal in mind: to help engaged couples build strong, life-giving, and lasting unions by inspiring them to welcome God into their marriages more completely. Offering couples the tools they need for life after their wedding day, Joined by Grace shows how the seven sacraments can help build marriages that are rooted in Christ by teaching couples to accept and be fully present to one another, give themselves completely, and serve and forgive each other. Published by Ave Maria Press--the publisher of Together for Life and a leader in marriage ministry for almost 50 years--written by marriage experts John and Teri Bosio, and produced by the Emmy-winning Spirit Juice Studios, Joined by Grace provides parish leaders, mentor couples, and engaged couples the most comprehensive, innovative, and up-to-date marriage preparation program for Catholic parishes today and the first to emphasize the connection between marriage and the other six sacraments.
