The Cana Experience

 The Cana Experience is a Catholic program to help husbands, and wives, mothers and fathers, to live their vocation to marriage and parenthood in all its fullness.

The family is the heart of our society. This is where God has made known his presence in the most unique and unrepeatable way. The Cana Experience can help equip you with practical tools that will enable you to become a champion for your family.

You will develop understanding and strategies which have the potential to positively impact your marriage, your children, and even your life at work in a small group setting.

You love your family. They are worth this investment of your time. The Cana Experience can help you reach the great heights God has planned for you.

This is a wonderful program offered at St. John Vianney through the Cana Family Institute.

Cana Family Institute Testimonies:

Year 1: Created to Believe, Ana Mendez

“Cana pushed me this year to be a leader and to truly prioritize my daily life with God’s timing. I had to make efforts and sacrifices to arrange everything in my household and life to be committed to our group and finish the year. Every night, whether it was training or class, it was twice the reward than the sacrifice. Every meeting gave me the encouragement to keep going and not give up. I met very incredible ladies in our group and it has been worth it.”

Year 1 Reigning in Life, Alfredo Arriola

“The program has helped me in many ways. It has helped me understand the reasons behind why we as men work and provide for our families. It has also deepened my understanding of the important role we play within our workplace as Christ’ stewards.”

Year 2: Created to Love, Bridget Schnitzer

I am grateful for the opportunity for spiritual growth and community that the Cana experience has given me. Being a part of Cana has truly helped me to further understand and joyfully live out my vocation as a mother.”
