Marriage Enrichment
Good marriages can always be made better! According to Pope Francis, marriage is “a project to be worked on together” and a “process of growth” (Amoris Laetitia, no. 218, 221). The Catholic Church strives to promote and provide many opportunities for spouses to enrich their marriage and deepen their love and understanding of each other and of the Sacrament of marriage.
Current Marriage Enrichment Opportunities:
