March 14-16:  Married Couples Retreat
Open to any couple seeking to grow spiritually in their marriage
Theme:  "Building UP One Another in the Image of Christ"
Presenters: Steve and Amee Pable, and Fr. Keith Clark
They will offer reflections on marriage as a lifelong pursuit rather than simply as a state of life a couple enters
on their wedding day.  Happy and successful Christian marriages are a triangle of husband, wife, and Christ.
The presentations will embody the experience of a young family, the wisdom of spouses who have raised their family, and the insights of a committed celibate man who is inspired by what he sees daily in the lives of married couples.
The intergenerational perspectives will offer hope and understanding to newly couples and to golden jubilarians
There is time for questions and discussion for those who wish. 
A quiet atmosphere is suggested for the private room areas. 
Sharing for those who wish takes place in the lower lounges.  The weekend also includes morning prayer,
Eucharist, a healing service, and time for prayer, reflection, sharing and meals.
