MARRIAGE PREPARATION
Engaged Encounter is a weekend experience of prayer and discussion for couples preparing for marriage. The presenting teams usually consist of two married couples and a priest. It is an intensive weekend of work during which each couple is offered the time and opportunity to question, examine and deepen their relationship with each other and with God. Couples are challenged to explore their relationship in a much deeper, more honest way than they have before.  https://engagedencounter.org/
