Texas St. in Fairfield; Our Divine Savior Parish, located at 566 E. Lassen Ave. in Chico; and Our Lady of Mercy Parish, located at 2600 Shasta View Dr. in Redding.

The course focuses on the meaning of marriage and family, sex and sexuality, and what it means to be man and woman.

The course is a fundamental look at the meaning of human love, especially the love between husband and wife – the paradigm on earth of the self-gifted love within the Trinity.
