Marriage Enrichment
A Session for Couples:
Connecting our story to God's greatest story
Would you like to learn how to draw people to God by sharing your testimony?
This session will allow couples to look within their own story and recall God's saving grace in their lives, in order to be uniquely positioned to share the Good News with others! Guest presenter Lillian Culumovic brings 30+ years of experience of evangelization in the Catholic Church to offer this compelling and engaging session.
Please note that this session is offered in the context of training for those involved in the marriage preparation ministry. However, all couples are most welcome!
This session is also open to other individuals who journey with couples - such as pastors and laypeople that offer pastoral support.
Please register before Tuesday, April 6.

Worldwide Marriage Encounter (WWME) weekends offer an opportunity for married couples to get away and enliven the excitement, romance and passion in their relationship as well as to strengthen their marriage. A weekend experience is a time for couples to listen to presentations and share privately with each other; a time to focus on themselves.
