Fifth cycle of marriage preparation course


On Saturday, February 13th, the first all-day course of preparation for sacramental marriage was organized in the Travnik Deanery.

The course was organized by the Office for Marriage and Family and the Counselling Centre of the Vrhbosna Archdiocese in cooperation with the Dean of the Travnik Deanery, venerable Marko Mikić. The host, for the fourth year, was the parish priest of the religious community of St. George the Martyr in Vitez, OFM Velimir Bavrka. 43 people participated, mostly from the Travnik Deanery, and there were fiancés from other deaneries.

At the beginning, venerable Mikić greeted those present, followed by a welcoming speech by OFM Velimir.

Then, four thematic units from the theological-biblical, psychological-pedagogical, medical and legal-moral perspective were processed. The lecturers were: rev. Vedran Ćosić, psych. Stanislav Stijepić, MD Sabina Mađar-Stijepić and rev. Miodrag Brkan.

Finally, a survey was conducted in which a high percentage of young people highlighted the usefulness of the course and expressed a desire to participate in other seminars that would address family topics.
