On 8 August 2026, Snehalaya Family Service Centre celebrates a remarkable milestone—fifty years of serving families with faith, compassion and professional excellence. Golden Jubilees are moments not merely to celebrate longevity but to pause in gratitude, to remember the vision of those who came before us, and to renew our commitment to the mission entrusted to us.
For fifty years, Snehalaya has stood as a beacon of hope for countless couples, families and individuals seeking guidance, healing and accompaniment. Behind every counselling session, every Marriage Preparation Course, every retreat and every family restored lies a story of God's grace quietly at work.
Marriage Preparation Course Options :
Participating in a Marriage Preparation Course (MPC) offers invaluable insights from experienced married couples and family counsellors, providing you and your partner with the opportunity to thoughtfully reflect upon, reaffirm and prepare for your upcoming marriage. To gain the most from this experience, it is recommended to complete the MPC at least six months prior to your wedding date.
📅 MPC in-person course schedule for January to December 2026
