Course & Events Calender 2025
We are excited to announce the launch of our first ever Wedding Special Issue which will be published on 14th February 2025 (Valentine’s Day). This will be a special colour issue on the lines of the Christmas Issue that has been a standard offering of the Examiner all these years.
This special issue is intended to be a definitive guide for all Christian wedding services, which will help future couples and their families plan for the special day.
The issue will also feature articles connected to the theme helping couples plan and execute all aspects of their wedding celebrations and in a special way, prepare for the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony.
We invite all Wedding Service providers to advertise their brands and services in this special issue: wedding grounds/banquet halls, Caterers, Sound and DJ, MCs, Photography, Beauty and Make-up, Cars and Transport, Event Planners, Hotels, Decorators, Invites and Cards, Travel and tours, etc.
Don't miss this opportunity to reach out to almost every Christian household in Mumbai and beyond!

Important Note: ***
On our Snehalaya Website, we provide the material for an ON-line Marriage Preparation Course. This course is meant ONLY for THE ARCHDIOCESE OF BOMBAY. Only Couples where one partner is from Mumbai and the other partner from elsewhere, can avail of this course.
At Snehalaya, we take responsibility to help couples having their residence in Mumbai. Couples from elsewhere cannot be helped by the Archdiocese of Bombay.
If couples from outside Mumbai do the course on-line, we are not able to monitor them nor issue a certificate.
For couples from Mumbai, they should get a clearance from the priest of the parish in writing. This will enable them to do the On-line course and get a certificate.
Snehalaya Family Service Centre is a not-for-profit NGO that helps families in Mumbai , India . In a mega-city like Mumbai, the stress and strain of living, with problems such as poverty, lack of proper housing, displacement, unemployment and underemployment, socio-cultural differences, marital discord, etc., proves too overwhelming for many individuals and families. Under this stress many individual feel lost, tried beyond their endurance, frustrated and defeated. People can seek help when capacities for responding to the demands of life are strained, when desired growth seems unattainable, when important decisions elude resolution and natural support systems are unavailable or insufficient.
