Friday Evening: "Building Worship in Your Marriage" 

Our retreat begins with an evening of worship with our monthly parish Festival of Praise from 7:30-9:00pm. Childcare is available from 7:15-9:15pm, so join your spouse for a powerful and moving evening of praise and worship before Jesus in the Eucharist.  

Saturday: “Building Spirituality in Your Marriage”

Spirituality is everywhere in your marriage. Yes, it's about prayer, but it's also about work and about raising your kids, it's about finding God in household chores and in sex.  These sessions continue our retreat with practical, helpful and humorous talks to help you and your spouse build spirituality in your marriage find all the places where God is. Learn how to grow your spiritual life in your marriage, in ways that fit in with work and kids. Childcare is available for the morning and afternoon sessions!

Gather at 9:00am for morning sessions in Harrison Hall.
               12:30 pm  Lunch

Sunday Afternoon: “Building Community with Your Marriage"

The last day of our retreat is designed to help you build community with your marriage. In God's plan He has put us all into the same boat together and we need one another and other married couples to help support us. Move from “just being there” to “presence,” from chatting with acquaintances to forging bonds with friends. What does Saint John Paul II mean by “spirituality of communion” anyway?

Gather at 12:30 pm in Harrison Hall for afternoon session.         Conclude by 4:30 pm.
