ONLINE MARRIAGE PREPARATION COURSE
Who can access the MPC programme on our website?
All couples who are preparing for marriage. ***
All priests and especially those who are dealing with couples in parishes . Priests can mention the name of any couple.
All married couples who are planning to renew their marriage commitment for one reason or the other.
Snehalaya
Important Note: ***
On our Snehalaya Website, we provide the material for an On-line Marriage Preparation Course. This is meant mainly for COUPLES FROM THE ARCHDIOCESE OF BOMBAY. Or for couples where one partner, at least is from MUMBAI and the other partner from elsewhere.
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.
Annual Marriage & Family Day 2023
Hello Collaborators, Valentine's Day is commercially celebrated on 14 February. This year you are encouraged to celebrate a morning or an evening in your respective parishes on Sunday, 19 February. Get the Parish Family Cell & Couples of your parish to organise a celebration consisting of:
1. A Eucharist, liturgy already sent
2. Possibly a short talk, by a priest and a couple, more in line of a sharing on a relevant topic
3. A cultural gathering with interactive games and sometime for dancing
4. A shared meal
The talk could be based on the working document on Synodality entitled 'Enlarge the space of your tent', seen from the perspective of family life.
You may charge a nominal fee to ensure participation.
In the month of March we shall have a Common Day together for an Archdiocesan exchange. Thanks for your cooperation.
Fr Cleophas Fernandes, Snehalaya.

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.
