Your marriage is worth investing in.❤️

Between work, children, schedules, activities, and everything else competing for our attention, it can be surprisingly difficult to make intentional time for the relationship at the heart of the family.

When was the last time you and your spouse stepped away from the busyness and focused on each other?

On October 9 & 10, Manna for Marriage invites married couples throughout our parish to Connecting God’s Way: A Catholic Marriage & Family Retreat.

And you don't need to be experiencing difficulties in your marriage to benefit from this retreat.

Whether you've been married for a few years or a few decades, this is an opportunity to reconnect as a couple, strengthen your communication, grow together as parents, and discover how your marriage can become the foundation of a thriving Domestic Church.

Led by Sheila Hynes, MA, LMFT, a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and Certified Emotionally Focused Therapist, the retreat combines practical relationship tools with the beauty of our Catholic understanding of marriage and family.

Together, you'll explore how to: ❤️ Deepen your connection as a couple
Recognize negative cycles, communicate with greater empathy, navigate conflict, and strengthen your emotional connection.

👨👩👧 Parent with greater unity
Understand your parenting styles and discover practical ways to approach challenges together and create greater peace within your family.

⛪ Build your Domestic Church
Discover simple, practical ways to make your home a place where faith is lived, prayer becomes part of family life, and your family grows together toward God.

You'll also leave with a retreat workbook, practical communication tools, parenting strategies, and faith-centered practices you can continue using together at home.
