ASPRIL FAMILY

Father: It's a hectic but beautiful time in our lives raising our 6-month-old son, and the rare time I get with my wife 1 on 1 is special. Getting to do this with her was something I won't forget, and I felt God in our presence. I found this preparation to be extremely valuable and meaningful. During these exercises we were able to cherish this monumental and blessed moment in our son's life and learn new things together. This course was a wonderful mix of history, Biblical references, self-reflection, and advice on parenting as part of the Catholic Faith. It made me proud to be Catholic and was a special reminder about life's purpose.

Mother: This prep course exceeded my expectations, and we learned a lot during the 3 core exercises. It's nice to have been able to complete these questionnaires at our own pace. I am grateful we will be able to hold onto these documents for future reference, which otherwise would not have been possible during expiring Zoom calls or meetings. The course challenged us and made us consider how we will serve as great examples for Hayes.
As a Godmother of 3 boys, I was reminded what a privilege it is and how I can further serve them as they continue to grow.

Both: Overall we would describe the experience as comforting and inspiring. For all our lives it has been up to us to demonstrate being Catholics for God, Jesus, for ourselves, and loved ones before us. Now, we take on a unique role and exciting responsibility in the future to consider how we will celebrate, encourage, and teach our son during his own journey. Throughout the preparation we felt extremely blessed.
