Weekend Retreats
-
It's important for the engaged to spend some time together prayerfully discerning the sacrament of marriage. After completion of the Natural Family Planning and Sponsor Couple segments of marriage preparation it is recommended that they attend an “Engaged Encounter” weekend retreat. Please note that this retreat should be scheduled early in the marriage preparation process as weekends may fill up quickly and individual work schedules can be difficult to work around.
The Engaged Encounter Weekend retreats are offered in our three surrounding dioceses (New Orleans, Mobile and Jackson). The Priest or Deacon will help guide the couple to the retreat that best fits their needs.
