Engaged Encounter Weekends
Engaged Encounter retreats are led by two
married couples and a priest, who present the
Catholic Church's teachings about marriage and
demonstrate the wisdom of God's plan for married
life. Since 1981, over 6,000 couples of the
Diocese have participated in these retreats,
which are a standard part of marriage
preparation. Thirty married couples of the
Diocese participate in this movement. Msgrs.
John McCabe, Robert Vasa, Timothy Thorburn, and
Fathers Christopher Barak, John Sullivan, and
Matthew Eickhoff have overseen this ministry.
Gain a deeper appreciation of your
relationship and of God's call to unite you in a
permanent union. Gain a clearer view of true
Christian marriage.
Cost:
$360 per couple includes two nights lodging,
two single rooms with private baths, five meals
