Forever & Always: Married Couples Retreat
The Office of Marriage & Family Life is offering two retreats at an affordable rate exclusively to Catholic School, Parish, and McRaith Center staff & spouses as a way to honor your ministry and service to the Diocese while also strengthening your marriage.
The family is the foundation of the Church, and marriage is the heart of the family. Whether you work at a Catholic School, a parish, or at McRaith Center, you constantly give and sacrifice for others. This is a chance for the Office of Marriage & Family life to give back to you by investing in your marriage. Consider this a “thank you” for your service in ministry to the people of the Diocese you serve.
The Forever & Always retreat is a balance of prayer experiences, skills-based workshops, and breaks for downtime presented by the marriage ministry team for the Diocese of Owensboro. It’s our goal that you walk away refreshed and encouraged, but also ready to use some new communication skills and tools that will make your marriage better than ever.
Come Get Away
These retreats will be a chance to recharge, reconnect, and strengthen a few communication skills while you’re at it. We intentionally booked these retreats in spring and fall for beautiful weather in a lodge with views overlooking the lake.
The Office of Marriage & Family Life wants to invest in your marriage, so we are covering a portion of the expense of this retreat to make it affordable to you and a blessing to your marriage.
Cost
Cost is $100 per couple which includes two nights in the lodge, breakfast, lunch, and dinner on Saturday.
