Worldwide Marriage Encounter’s mission of renewal in the church and change in the world is to assist couples and priests to live fully intimate and responsible relationships by providing them with a Catholic “Experience” and ongoing community support for such a lifestyle.

The Marriage Encounter weekend is designed to help married couples communicate more intimately with one another in order to deepen and enrich their relationship. The weekend is free from everyday routines, distractions, and tensions. An atmosphere is created where the couple can concentrate exclusively on one another in a private and confidential environment.

A series of presentations that touch on many aspects of marriage is given by three couples and a Catholic priest. After each presentation, the couple has time in the privacy of their own room for personal sharing using the communication techniques learned on the weekend. There are no “group discussions.”

Who is it for? Married couples and priests. All faith expressions are welcome!

Meetings: The weekend starts at 8:00 pm on Friday and runs until 4:00 pm on Sunday.
