This weekend retreat is for married couples who want to deepen their relationship with one another in the context of their sacrament of marriage. The retreat conferences will reflect the special graces and opportunities for spiritual and personal growth that the sacrament brings to the spouses. There will be leisure time for conversation between husband and wife as well as with other married couples. The quiet beauty of the retreat center and grounds offers a peaceful context for the prayerful exploration of richness of the experience of the sacrament of marriage.

Our tentative dates for this year’s Married Couples Retreat will be: Feb 12-14-2021 and June 25-27, 2021. Couples are welcome to attend a self-guided get away anytime.
