Marriage Enrichment

World Wide Marriage Encounter

Looking for the perfect weekend for you and your spouse to grow closer together, a weekend of discovery that can bring a lifetime of love?

A Worldwide Marriage Encounter Weekend could be THE weekend for the two of you to reconnect and revitalize your marriage. It is an experience guided by couples and a priest who help you to rediscover your dreams, rekindle your romance and become more aware of God's desire for your marriage. Away from the distractions of everyday life, each couple has the time to focus on each other, and learn new ways of communicating more effectively in a private, positive atmosphere. All marriages need effort and nurturing! WWME provides an opportunity for you and your spouse to explore your relationship together and find ways to make it stronger and more fulfilling for a lifetime – blessings that spill over to your family, friends, and parish community.

To sign up for a weekend, please contact Roberto and Helen Vega (972)655-9478

If you have already been encountered and would like to attend a WWME Circle Meeting in your area, please contact the Vegas at (214)257-4621 or (214)850-8062

Upcoming Retreat Weekends: March 16-18 and May 4-6

Retrovaille

Retrouvaille Weekend is for Couples That Need Help Through Difficult Times in Their Marriage. Retrouvaille (pronounced retro-vi with a long i) is a ministry designed to help troubled marriages regain their health.

Do you feel alone? Are you frustrated or angry with each other? Do you argue ... or have you just stopped talking to each other? Does talking about it only make it worse?

Retrouvaille has helped many couples experiencing difficulties in their marriage. The program helps spouses uncover or re-awaken the love, trust and commitment that originally brought them together. The program is for couples that are struggling and staying together, as well as for those that are separated. For confidential information about or to register for the program contact 1-800-470-2230 or visit the Web site at www.HelpOurMarriage.com.
