The parish is in great need of couples of all ages and levels of experience to serve as facilitators of the FOCCUS premarital inventory for our engaged couples!   This is an extremely meaningful way to serve this community:

• since completion of a premarital inventory is MANDATED for all engaged couples who wish to marry in the Church in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee
• and this ministry is VITAL to the life of the parish! Many young couples, searching for a parish “home,” want to begin their lives as husband and wife with a wedding ceremony here at Christ King. They then go on to become dedicated members of our parish community.   

It would be distressing if we had to turn young people away because we are not equipped to meet their needs!   

Becoming a FOCCUS facilitator is way to have a very real impact on engaged couples. Studies have shown that, years after the wedding, couples forget details about the ceremony, about the reception—but they don’t forget their FOCCUS couple!   

Why? Because the program is “dedicated to nurturing holy, happy, and healthy marriages through preparation, enrichment, and lifelong support. We help couples strengthen their relationship with each other and with God by fostering open communication, understanding, and prayerful reflection.”  --FOCCUS Inc.   

In a nutshell, FOCCUS facilitators are assigned two or three couples a year, usually months in advance of the wedding—and you meet with them on your schedule. Training is provided, now on-line—again: on your schedule. What a great way to meet and interact with some of the newest members of our parish community!
