Amsterdam is quite an international city and it is important to think of those who come from other countries when it comes to prepare marriage in the Catholic Church. This course in English, brings the participants in touch with other couples in their same situation and others who will help them to think about their future married life. You are welcome to apply for this course:

DAY AND TIME: Wednesday Evenings
