RETROUVAILLE: Is your marriage going down the right road . . . or is it a little off track? Life can be difficult, and so can the challenges you face in marriage. Are you already separated? Looking for a better way? Retrouvaille is a peer ministry of volunteer couples that can help you learn the tools of healthy communication, build intimacy and heal, just as they have done in their own marriages. Retrouvaille is Christian-based, and Catholic in origin, but welcomes couples of all faiths as well as non-religious couples. For more information about an upcoming Retrouvaille Weekend (February 22-24, 2019), contact registration team: Mike and Carole Glancy @ 1-800-470-2230 or visit our website: HelpOurMarriage.com. Literature pamphlets are at the entrances to the church.
