What is pre-canna? And what purpose does it serve?

It is my understanding that pre-canna is to teach couple how to communicate with each other; but don't couples do that now before reaching that point in their life?


I mean when you date someone you talk to each other and isn't that a form of communication, that leads to knowing each other which in turns leads to marriage; am I missing something here with pre-canna?

What is pre-canna? And what purpose does it serve?
Pre-cana is supposed to make you aware of the more difficult situations you might run into when you're married. Before you're married, you often don't even think about some of these things. However, I don't believe it always works. My first husband and I had to go, and we were divorced after two years! Not pre-cana's fault, but it was pretty much a waste of time for us.
Reply:Pre-Cana is a Catholic course on marriage


Engaged couples need to take part in the course before they can be married in the Catholic Church. Each Catholic parish handles Pre-Cana differently. The course might be over a month or it might be a weekend. Your priest might direct you to another parish to get the course if your parish doesn't offer it.
