I know this topic has probably been approached before but I didn't see a recent one.  I hope someone may be able to help.

Heres my situation.  Fi and I are getting married next August 13th(2011).  We are getting married at the Cathedral of St. Raymond in Joliet IL.  Currently we live in Orange county California and won't be moving back to Illinois until April(we are from Illinois originally and are only living here for a year).  Anyways we need to take the classes here seeing that we won't have enough time to do it when we get home and I am not even sure they are offered at the Church we are getting married at in the time frame between us moving home and our weddding. For the life of me I cannot find a church to do foccus/pre cana classes anywhere.  Do any of you upcoming brides have any churches and dates that offer it anytime soon? We live in Seal Beach but will be open to doing them anywhere that offers them.  If anyone can point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it!  Thank you so much.

    Also, I would make double sure that your Marriage Prep between different parishes/diocese coordinates (i.e. that what you do in CA will work for the cathedral in IL). Things don't always align perfectly between diocese, because a lot of it is on a parish-by-parish or diocese-by-diocese basis. 

    Also, are you and your FI attending a church right now? If so, they might be able to help you find classes at other churches, even if they don't offer them directly.

    jill, we just did our Engaged Encounter, which is the only requirement for the Orange County brides that I talked to. It was at Mission San Louis Ray, in Oceanside, Ca. Go to http://www.sandiegoee.org and it has a list of the dates. Half of the couples that went with us were from the OC. I hope this helps. However, still make sure to check with the diocese you are getting married in.

    We asked our priest if it was alright if we attended the EE in Orange County (even though we're getting married in LA County) and he said it was perfectly fine. Here's the link to the ones in Orange and Tustin.
