Domestic Church Couples Retreat Banner

Couples are invited to take advantage of this simple, beautiful gift of formation, accountability, and true, organic growth in love and faith within their Sacrament, building and strengthening the foundations of the Domestic Church.

New format: 3 days at a host parish, with no overnight stays.  

Our Lady of Good Counsel Parish will be hosting a 3-Day Retreat for married couples on Friday, August 9th (6:00pm-9pm); Saturday, August 10th (8:00am-6pm); and Sunday, August 11th (7:30am-3:30pm).  This retreat is first and foremost a chance to encounter Christ together as a married couple and to enrich your spiritual life together.  It is also an introduction to the Domestic Church movement which provides ongoing support and formation for married couples.  The opportunity to participate in this ongoing formation will be discussed during the retreat.

 

This has been such a great benefit to our marriage in the last 2 years since we began to meet in a Circle group and grow in our practice of the 7 Promises.  We have grown in our prayer life together, learned how to communicate better, and are closer to each other than ever before.  We have also formed some great new friendships through this movement.” -Dino and Cathy Durando
