    • Marriage Enrichment

      "Love is never something ready made, something merely 'given' to man and woman; it is always at the same time a 'task' which they are set. Love should be seen as something which in a sense never 'is' but is always only 'becoming', and what it becomes depends up on the contribution of both persons and the depth of their commitment."
      - St. John Paul II, Love and Responsibility

      Marriage is like a beautiful garden - in order for it to bloom and bear fruit, it needs to be cultivated, enriched, and protected. Daily life offers many opportunities for couples to grow in their love and commitment to one another. On the other hand, married couples face also many challenges in their lifelong journey together, from the demands of work to the stressors of daily life. The good news is couples do not have to face these struggles alone. They have one another, and they have the greater family of the Church to offer support, encouragement, and wisdom. 

      This page offers marriage enrichment resources for couples who seek to strengthen, rejuvenate, or heal their marriage. Please know that this is not an exhaustive list. If the offerings below are not suitable for your needs, we encourage you to seek your local parish for advice or information.
