The marriage preparation seminar on August 8 interests me, I am going to talk about it to my son who is getting married next year. The golf tournament on September 29 looks nice too, even if I don't play anymore. Does anyone know if we can still register for the Boston Metropolis camp?

Tomáš Baláž

The marriage preparation seminars look useful, especially the one on August 8. I will mention it to our mother-in-law, as her older son is getting married in the spring. Does anyone know when to sign up for that golf tournament on September 29th?

Sofía López

The marriage preparation seminar on August 8 seems very practical to me. I'm going to tell my neighbor that her daughter is getting married next year. Does anyone know if you can still sign up for the golf tournament on September 29?

I find the August 8 wedding preparation seminar helpful, I will tell my daughter who has had a boyfriend for years now. I don't know about the golf in September, but I've visited the Methodius center in New Hampshire before, it's a quiet place. Does anyone know if they are still accepting people for the camp?

Athina Papa

I enjoyed the workshop on August 8th, I will mention it to my daughter who is in high school - maybe it will help her later. I don't know about the golf tournament on September 29th, but I have heard about the Methodios Faith and Heritage Center in Contoocook many times, it seems like a quiet place to go with the family. Does anyone know if they are still accepting registrations for the Boston Metropolis camp?

Đorđe Petrović

I see everyone mentioning the August 8 seminar, and I'd recommend it – my godfather ran a similar one a couple of years ago and couples really benefited. For the golf tournament on September 29, I haven't heard from anyone from our parish who is going, so if anyone knows the deadline for registration, please let me know. The Methodios Center in New Hampshire is a really nice retreat, I was there once with the kids at summer camp.

Sofija Kostić

I would be happy to recommend the seminar from August 8, I just recently baked cakes for a similar one in Niš and the couples were satisfied afterwards. I don't know anything about the golf tournament on September 29th, but the Methodios Faith and Heritage Center in Contoocook sounds like a peaceful retreat, just like our monastery here. Is there any news about applications?

Christopher Moore

The August 8 marriage prep seminar looks solid. I might mention it to our older daughter; she’s been talking about relationships more lately. Anyone know the deadline for the golf tournament on the 29th?

Cristina Ionescu

The marriage preparation seminar on August 8 seems the most useful on the list. I'm going to tell my eldest son, who already has a fiancee of two years. Does anyone know the deadline for the September 29th golf tournament?

Χρήστος Παππάς

I will tell my son, who is getting married next year, about the wedding preparation seminar on August 8th. I don't know anything about September golf, but the Methodios Faith and Heritage Center in Contoocook I've heard from metropolitan old timers – they say it's quiet and cold in the winter. Does anyone know when they are taking applications for the tournament?

Margarita Prifti

Yes, the seminar on August 8 was good, especially the part about couple communication. I also told my daughter in high school some of the things I learned there. For the Boston camp I'm not sure if they've opened registration yet, but Methodios Faith and Heritage Center in Contoocook we tried last year with the kids – it's really cool, as you say.

George Evans

The August 8 one does look good. I went to the last marriage prep seminar at the cathedral and it was straightforward, no fluff. For the golf tournament, last year they took sign-ups right up to the week before, but I'd call the office to be sure. Your daughter thinking about this stuff already? Time flies.

Kristina Dhima

Yes, the August 8 seminar has remained in my mind for those practical exercises we did. I told my daughter in high school to look at the other seminar dates because there are still October and November. For the Boston Metropolis camp, I don't even know if they closed registration, but I visited the Methodios Center in Contoocook once with my husband - it's really quiet, especially in the fall.

Ηλίας Καραγιάννης

Is your son getting married? Congratulations! The August 8 seminar is good, I went last year with my wife and we liked that they talked practically about the early years. For September golf, I think they take applications until the end of August, but you'd better call the metropolis and ask for sure. I have visited Methodios in spring, really quiet place.

James Bennett

The August 8 seminar does look solid. We sent our oldest to the one last spring and she said the same thing—no fluff, just practical talks that stuck with her. You going to sign up for the golf tournament again this year? I’m thinking of dusting off my clubs.

Ηλίας Μακρής

No, my son isn't getting married yet, but I'm thinking of suggesting it for when the time comes. I had marked the August seminar exactly for the practical issues you mention. Did you go golfing last year? What did you think?

Κατερίνα Παπαδοπούλου

No, I didn't go golfing last year, but I heard it was very nice and had people from different parishes. It is good to suggest it to your son when he matures, these seminars help a lot in practicals. Have you been to any of the retreats at the Methodios Faith and Heritage Center?

Γιώργος Παπαγεωργίου

Όχι, δεν έχω πάει ακόμα στο Methodios, αν και ακούγεται ήσυχο και κατάλληλο για οικογενειακή απόδραση. Εγώ προτιμώ το γκολφ τουρνουά γιατί είναι πιο κοντά και βλέπεις κόσμο που ξέρεις από τις ενορίες. Θα το προτείνω στον γιο μου σίγουρα, έχει αρχίσει να ρωτάει για γάμους τελευταία.
