Frequently Asked Questions (F.A.Q.)
Some frequently asked
questions.
Which is the better programme of the two?
The two programmes are different in content and
approach. The week-end is better as a remote preparation, and the One Day as
a proximate preparation. The ideal would be to do both.
Do we have to be present for the whole course?
Yes, you have to be present for the whole course
to get the certificate. Marriage is a life-time. Don’t you think one day is
too little by way of preparation for a life time, given the fact that for a
profession which will run until retirement you have to put in so many years?
And marriage is a 24 hour affair, not just a 8 or 9 hour job daily?
Can non-Catholics attend these courses?
Yes, you can get your non-Catholic friends to
attend the course. It is understood that there will be some catholic content
in the course.
What is the reporting time and what time does it end?
The reporting time at the site is 8.30 a.m. and
the programme ends around 7.00 p.m. (with mass you can safely count the ending
as 7.30p.m.)
Cancellations: How do we go about it? And do we get a refund of our money?
As arrangements have to be made for the food
etc. we need advance notice of cancellations. The earlier you cancel the better.
You can then get a full refund or a change to another day without any problem.
Once the Late Fee comes into force, then there will be some deduction from the
refund you get or the adjustment.
Can we change from veg to non-veg or vice versa, and how do we do it? And when?
Inform us earlier, even a phone call will help.
Mention your admit-slip number.
Do we have to come in person to register?
This has become necessary because of the problems
we have been facing. We would like to see that all is done well with you and
you get a certificate with your name spelt properly etc.
What about a change in name, if the name is miss-spelt, at registration, how do we correct it and when?
Such changes and corrections should be intimated
as soon as possible, the latest being a week before the course.
