Catholic Engaged Encounter
Spiritual Director: Fr. Matthew Eickhoff

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 5,000 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: $270 per couple includes two nights lodging, two single rooms with private baths, five meals and materials. A $100 non-refundable deposit is required with the reservation. The balance of $170 is due on Friday evening. The entire amount may be included with the registration form, if you wish. A $50 cancellation fee will be assessed if the cancellation noticed is received after Noon on Tuesday preceding the scheduled weekend.
Checks: Payable to: Catholic Engaged Encounter
