So helpful

Love this podcast!

What a powerful witness

I’m really grateful for Monica and Renzo and the witness they give of a joyful marriage. Pre-Cana with the Pope is a reminder that couples don’t have to be afraid of hard conversations, that love can grow and get even stronger, and that there are other people out there striving to live the sacrament daily. If you are engaged and getting ready for marriage, listen. If you’re newly married or married a long time, you’ll find inspiration here. If you’re a priest working in marriage prep or with married couples, listen to this podcast for deeper insight.

So worth listening to

I love this show for the thoughtful & practical marriage advice! I always get something out of every episode. Monica and Renzo are extremely relatable and never come across like they’re trying to seem like they know everything, even when they’re sharing a lot of great wisdom. And they’re funny! Truly an awesome podcast.
