"To set out on the path of the married vocation means to learn married love day by day, year by year: love according to soul and body, love that is patient, is kind, love does not insist on its own way... and does not rejoice at wrong; love that rejoices in the right, love that endures all things."  --John Paul II

A Day of Enrichment focused on Couple Prayer and the Vocational nature of the Sacrament of Matrimony - NEW EVENT!  May 11th, Villa Maria Guadalupe, Stamford, CT

Praying together is profound.  It brings a new closeness to spouses and draws them to be "in relationship" with our Lord.  As married couples we are called to this growth in relationship but often find ourselves confused as to what steps to take or how to go about praying together.  This day of enrichment is designed to inspire married couples to either begin or travel further down the path of prayer and communion with God.

Retrouvaille
Our office also supports the efforts of Retrouvaille (which means "rediscovery").  Retrouvaille is a weekend program for couples whose marriage is in trouble.  If there is little or no meaningful communication, or  if you are considering separation or divorce, we believe Retrouvaille can help.

The program offers the chance to rediscover yourself, your spouse, and a loving relationship in your marriage.  It has a proven track record of successfully saving marriages (75%!).  It is a Catholic-based program open to people of all faiths.

Retrouvaille weekends are held in the New York metropolitan area in New Jersey, on Long Island, and in Connecticut.  We are currently working to bring Retrouvaille weekends to the Archdiocese of New York.  For more information, please visit the Retrouvaille website.
